[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1317411, member: 2736"] I have not left anything in the bore for "Storage". I have left a light film in the bore for several weeks while hunting, and dry patched before use, but I did find traces of fouling on the first patch, so I ether didn't get it totally clean or it was still working. I have looked for solvent damage when leaving it for several weeks, and found no evidence of it with Bore tech except the dirty dry patch afterwards. So If I know that the rifle will be stored for longer periods, I still feel more comfortable with a good film of oil in the bore. I am interested in trying the bore conditioner that Greyfox mentioned. As stated earlier, I have seen solvent damage and it is very scary, so it is possible if the solvent application is not followed damage can result. so I will be the first to say that I am conservative when using solvents and error on the side of caution by removing all solvents at some point and oil the bore. When cleaning a premium quality barrel, convenience is not considered even though it is sometimes a pain. I am still nervous until get a barrel clean and oiled. Any product that can dissolve copper should be respected. Just my comfort zone J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
