Did Wipeout Products Ruin My Barrel?

[DoneNOut]

I use accelerator and patch out combination on all my barrels. I have never used accelerator on its own but almost always leave barrels overnight with the combo soaking. I regularly see red streaks in my patches when applying accelerator. This is generally the 1st or 2nd application of the accelerator.(before applying accelerator/patch out I clean loose debris out of the bore with hoppes until patches come out clean with no soaking. Then clean with alcohol patch and dry patch. Then use the wipeout/patch out)

The rifles that I've built or purchased since buying a borescope (which I use every cleaning) I've yet to see a pitted barrel. This includes 3 different proof carbon barrels, 2 criterion, and multiple factory barrels.

But now I'm curious because I recently looked down my barrels for the ar platform that are pitted. I have 6 barrels from the same manufacturer. 3 of which are pitted. All of them stainless. I'm not sure if they were like this when I got them or when the pits actually showed up.

My understanding of the accelerators purpose is to speed up the patch out. It is not intended to clean whatsoever. So with all due respect I'm curious as to how you expected a good outcome?

Maybe it was this I read on the side of the bottle. as you suggest my moronic pea brain…

Maybe one expects using one without the other wouldn't result in the best results, but certainly wouldn't lead to destruction.

I'm glad you got the whole Daggum world figured out that you can ask me the stupid question of, What did you expect? Dude, go troll somewhere else.

Ok, great. But the label also says it is meant to be used in combination with tactical advantage, wipeout or patch out. Which are cleaning chemicals. Nowhere does it say you should use it on its own. It would serve no purpose.

In any case,

Any success? Have you tried an abrasive yet or even another application of accelerator/patch out?

If you want to quote the label, quote the whole label buddy. Sorry to get your panties in a bunch

My uderstanding of the accelerators purpose is to speed up the patch out.

That may be its purpose. Based on this experience with Accelerator it also
1) accelerates barrel replacement; and
2) accelerates transformation of a rifle bore to a kaleidoscope.

Oops... sorry about that...

If that was the gun that had the blow it out case did you run a borescope through that before you tried cleaning it I'm just wondering if them are metal deposits that started the barrel from one that blew out

Here you go.

Done. Tell me where it says using one without the other will result in barrel destruction. Let the adults talk now.
Oh this too:

Same rig. Did you catch my WLR primer failure posts?

Nope

Yes, the bore looked fine. I just wanted to see what/how fast the accelerator would do on its own.

Nope

Pin hole blow out failures on the side of the primers. Winchester replaced 5000 primers and paid me $350 for bolt head replacements. Stand up company! Unlike Wipeass cleaning products.

Gingerman,

It's really unfortunate that this barrel was damaged. Hopefully, you're able to get it back in a good shooting shape.

Since it's time for the adults to talk, I'm just gonna say, 'YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!' Bad things happen when you don't read and follow the directions completely, particularly with things like firearms, solvents, and explosives. Glad you learned your lesson without losing an eye or any fingers.

Sincerely,

The Adults
