Coppering - 2

[3deers]

Got a question for those of you who know more about it than me.....

I have an older electronic bore cleaner. The type you put the rod down the barrel, fill with electrolyte, apply electricity. Uses the copper fouling in the bore to plate the rod, thus removing the copper completely from the bore. Always had amazing results. Perfectly clean bore. Just wondering if anyone knows of any detrimental effects this might have to the bore ??

I have used that system, Foul Out II, for a period of time. It worked well but was a PITA to use so I switched to other methods. I never noticed and detrimental effects of using this reverse-plating system.

I can't imagine any problems that could be caused by the electrolysis, unless your barrel was made out of a copper alloy!
