mitchugh--
It is actually vintage stuff---real WWII bore cleaner. I have no idea what is in it, and probably don't want to know. My boss got a bunch of it someplace and we use it. I can tell you that it eats plastic if left on too long and that it is very unfriendly to many other materials (like your clothes). Its a white paste. If you can find it, use it.
On the belt feds (especially the Maxim) that get run with all corrosive ammo, we usually hose them with WD40 or PB Blaster prior to casing for transport (especially when it will be a day or two til we are back, like Knob Creek) and so far (knock wood) we have been ok.
Wow, sounds like battery acid to me.
Garand1957,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
