    Cleaning 03A3

    I'm cleaning the barrel of a recently purchased 03A3 and I'm using "Butch's Bore Shine and Kroil". Seems to me I read somwhere that Kroil doesn't play nice w/ certain cleaners.
    The reason I'm using kroil is that the bore is really dirty and I wanted something that would penetrate.

    I don't know of any specific problems in mixing Kroil with other products but if you have concerns just use them separately. Wipe the bore with dry patches between applications and finish with a standard gun oil like Rem Oil or Ballistic.
