I’m sure I have used every chemical or mechanical means known to man to clean the “ring” from my stainless revolvers. I now live with the “ring” and life is so much better now.
Oh, I'd wipe it down with a wet patch, then a dry patch.... But what doesn't come off stays. Doesn't hurt a thing....will try NOT to clean cylinder face after shooting.
That's mainly because BP doesn't burn hot enough to produce caked on carbon deposits (either 572* F or 867* F - depending on the source) on the cylinder face. Smokelees OTOH, burns at about 3300 * F.For some reason, I never get carbon rings on the front of the cylinders of my revolvers that I shoot with Black Powder.
You betcha ! For those who have never tried it here's the original formula :I consider the discoloring rings on the front of the cylinder a sign of a revolver worth shooting... BTW, have you tried Ed's Red home mix bore cleaner solution. It's amazing and cheap...
