I've used lead cleaning cloth of various manufacture on stainless steel guns, particularly revolvers, and they seem to work rather well in removing lead and stubborn carbon fouling.
Naturally, as it is abrasive, it should not be used on a blued firearm. Does that prohibition also apply to inside the barrel of a blued pistol? For example, is it a bad idea to cut a little strip of the cloth, wrap it around a brush and attempt to "de-lead" the barrel of a blued or a Parkerized gun?
Thanks!
