has anyone used this in firearms? ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009EC4Q3W/ref=pe_3676590_803013790_em_1p_0_lm ) I have 3 questions about it if you have used it in a firearm. Q#1) does it work well? Q#@) is is safe for regular gun steel, as well as stainless steel? and Q#3) is related to #2, will guns that regularly see 62,000 - 65,000 psi of pressure (5.56 nato , 300 win mag,) be negatively effected by repetitive use of it? I KNOW that very few of the members here are metallurgists, let alone one that specializes in ballistic steel. I am just looking for real world experience with the use of it. and yes, i have sent a question to the maker of it.

You can always who the pioneers were, they are the people with the arrows in their backs. Seriously, I have been reloading for 40+ years and do have a metallurgist background along with NDT Non-Destructive Testing along with a few other certs. Long term who knows what it will do to your gun. The best advice is to use carbon removal products that are made for guns. That is like putting aluminum rails for scopes on brass receivers' long term not good.

There is a federal requirement that everyone selling any product must provide a Safety Data Sheet which lists all the ingredients in the product. So one could simply ask that company for their online document and see what exactly is in that stuff.

This product contains some caustic and toluene, probably the components that get the carbon, along with various alcohols and dichloromethane as the carrier. It should be safe to use in barrels, but I'd be concerned with polymer or wood finish contact. If I used it, It'd be in a well-ventilated area. But I don't like the idea of rinsing my firearms with water.

It constantly amazes me how much some people overthink cleaning firearms.
Carbon Killer
Carbon Killer removes carbon, grease, and lead on contact. I also makes plastic fouling easy to remove by breaking down the bond between the plastic and metal. It is an aggressive cleaner designed to make cleaning easy for even extremely dirty and neglected parts. • Cuts through baked on carbon...

Carbon Killer is excellent and removes barrel carbon. Best not to let it soak for extended periods. Read the instructions on the package. Works very well for soaking bcg's.
