KG1??

[Ferret1]

Any of you guys used a product called KG1? I have been told it clears carbon build-up in barrels but was warned to protect wood work while using it. Just wondered if anyone has used it and how you went about protecting the wood?? Don't think I have the skills for a complete strip down and rebuild

Why dont you use Iosso paste and a good copper solvent like Hoppes #9 or One Shot or Shooters Choice using a stiff nylon brush the paste will not hurt the barrel if your worried about the stock cut a big glad bag open or cling wrap your rear stock.
Iosso removed carbon from my 6.5/284 see attached before and after shots

you should always protect the wood, some solvents can soften and rot wood. some woods are more vulnerable to rot from solvents and oils. that why walnut is the prefered wood for rifle stocks along with a few woods from northern europe. Many woods have the very desirable strength and stability characteristics that make them ideal for stocks but they rot away and soften when exposed to solvents and oils. Walnut is unique in that it does not rot away like that.
