I never use bore solvents. Years ago when cleaning many riot guns
in an armory we used 000 steel wool on wooden dowels chucked in a drill motor. I never measured any metal removal in the barrels. After another gun technician bought some Tornado Brushes and used them without any type of cleaner just a wipe out with oiled patch until clean. I started using this type of brush in my SXS older guns and have access to some very good bore micromerers. The results are fantastic dry scrub with tornado brush and wipe clean and lube with Ballistol and some grease on the hinge pins. If you do this after cleaning with a bristle brush you will find all the residue left and the bores will look better when you look through them.
