peroxide and vinegar
A friend of mine from the range said he uses equal parts of white vinegar and peroxide to clean his weapons. I tried it and cut cleaning time in half for me . ANOTHER friend said NO, that these are acidic and will eat away and the bore. I said to coat it all with oil when done.

ANY THOUGHTS?
What kind of guns is he cleaning and how bad do they need cleaning. Rinse well after use, I see no problem using it on a swab but I wouldn't dunk my gun in it. Cleaning cases especially if you used black powder in them is good as long as you only soak a few minutes and rinse well afterwards. I don't think it will leach out the zinc like ammonia does. Better yet use it for cleaning mold up from showers. around any water fittings under the sink etc.
