Cleaning Brass on BB 44 Rifle
Cleaning Brass on BB 44 Rifle
I ran out of my regular gun cleaning spray and used some Hoppes spray foam cleaner. I typically use the foam on my Glock barrels only with no problem. When I used it on my Henry 44 and some of it got on the brass it appears to have tarnished it. Has anyone seen this before and what can I use to clean it?

or shine up with Renaissance Wax.
If using Brasso, make sure to use the sku that is Ammonia free.

I wonder what H.R.A. likes as a brass rifle cleaner. Who better to know the best product and method.
