Does nitro-solvent still have a place ?

@414gates @414gates 3 years ago

While checking to see what solvents remained in my cleaning box, prior to re-ordering, I came across several of the small plastic bottles of nitro-solvent.

I've never actually used it in the past.

Since I made up my own Ed's Red, I now know what it looks like - it looks like Ed's Red, but smells different.

Is it worth keeping ?

Anyone still using it to brush rifle bores ?

I think any person who ever bought a first firearm bought a bottle of nitro Solvent. I think every one of those bottles is somewhere on some shelf one or two applications less by volume.

I've used eds red exclusively but for one bout of copper fouling removal for 15 years at least. Haven't come up short for rifle, handgun or shotty in that time so I have no need for the nitro slovent.
