Did you have to wait 4,000 years? Ha Ha.

I 'herd' that on many a time ARVN troops dunked their M1 Garands and 30 Cal Carbines directly into a stream or river to clean their weapons. Who needs solvent? Ha Ha. That isn't going to get those weapons clean.

You should hear the howling and crying when I use hot soapy water on a Mosin Nagant. "YOU CAN"T DO THAT!" "Oh but here... use some Windex."

A good thing no one ever told Daniel Bone he couldn't clean corrosive gunk out of his rifle with hot soapy water.

Maybe I just wrote too fast, so I'll slow it down.

Hot. Water. Is. Not. Effective. Against. Copper. Or. Lead. Fouling.
