I did a search and found a couple of very old threads on using this product but wondered how many others use it to clean the carbon ring? I've found that it cleans the carbon ring much easier on stainless barrels. Almost no scrubbing and I simply cut patches out of the cloth and run it into the chamber from the receiver end if I want to clean the carbon ring only or push it all the way down the barrel if I want to remove all the lead. Here is a bore scope of my Shilen barrel first after using C4 and some hoppes lightly with a nylon brush. Then after five minutes and a couple of Birchwood Casey patches.

Welcome
i cant remember what i have and have tried.
but there was one that was abrasive. you could feel it. so, its just something you really need to consider if its the same.
also, if you havent figured this out, when ever you use anything "new" to you, always try to do a test on someplace not so obvious. that way, if it removes/eats the finish, you wont have a big eye sore to deal with.
good luck/YMMV.

Bang bang I’ve used Birchwood Casey for years. I was just surprised to only find one or two old posts about it here. Usually I use it for the carbon rings on stainless revolvers but I’ve used it all over stainless guns to remove carbon at least 20 years. Don’t use it on the outside of a blued gun. Whatever is in it removes blue without effort.
I've also used the Lead Free type of cloths on a couple of stainless revolvers. The cloths are a bit abrasive, those revolvers went from the sort of scratchy looking "satin" finish typical of S&W to a rather fine polish. I've never used the stuff on a chamber but would think it'd be OK in moderation.
I realize that this is an older thread but has anyone recently used the Birchwood Casey lead remover cloth on a newer rifle barrel that is leaded. I'm referring to a rifle barrel that is NOT stainless but is blued steel. Post three above says "don't use it on the outside of a blued gun". If you use a bore guide for the rifle barrel as you know you will get some cleaning solvent down on the feed ramp/floor plate of the rifle and those pieces are blued. Does this rule it out as a lead remover? Your opinions and experiences are welcomed.
