I tried a liquid wrench product in a pinch..it smelled a bit like the gun oil of my youth
to clean an old SW double action first model 44R...that shoots GOEX black powder cartridges
it was incredible...cleaned the snot out of it
grime just poured off and wiped off easy
much much better than WD-40 or even fancy black powder solvents I’ve used
however...there are many new solvents out now..some even made by old Hoppes ..that are likely more designed specifically for guns and bluing
so I would only use Liquid Wrench in a pinch or wipe real good and then oil up
but I was sure impressed
I have a gallon or two of cleaner from the USS Nimitz and or others :o) works great.
