[QUOTE="magna19, post: 3074443, member: 24646"] Not really a concern. You can use a solvent with higher ammonia content but be careful and follow directions. Some are not meant for overnight soaking, but only shorter times of 15-30 minutes. The stainless sometimes seem to hold those streaks of copper in the grooves. When I use regular strength copper remover (reg shooter choice, Hoppe Benchrest, etc) overnight I usually try to run a soaked patch and brush a few times then wet patch and brush a few times, then wet patch every couples hours with muzzle down for 10-12 hrs and check again. Unless it was a heavily copper foul barrel this is good enough even if there is slight evidence of copper still. But most importantly is use a bore guide. [/QUOTE]
