Take care with nickeled guns to never use any gun cleaner which attacks copper fouling, as nickeled guns historically used copper as a basecoat to which the nickel will adhere, and nickel is a porous plating, with the solvent able to attack the copper. I formerly used, and advised using, white kerosene for cleaning nickeled guns, but that has become hard to find, as now many stove fuels sold at chain stores turn out to be Stoddard solvent or other substances when MSDS consulted, so check on contents and those contents effects on copper or nickel of any considered cleaner for nickeled guns.</p></blockquote><p></p>
