Having seen some glowing recommendations for Montana Extreme's bore solvent, I ordered a bottle. Last evening I went to clean my .223 bolt gun, and while wiping the rod, a KleenBore Saf-T-Clad one-piece, after the second wet patch, I found the red coating soft and sticky! The ~30 seconds of exposure (first patch, then second patch) to the bore solvent softened the coating to the point that it's wiping off onto a paper towel.
It still hasn't rehardened all the way, and I suspect it won't since epoxy doesn't usually reharden after a solvent attack. I haven't heard back from Montana Extreme yet. . .
So you're warned. Might do to test a bit of solvent on your rod before you get to work pushing patches through. . .
