Help.. Green funk on stainless parts

Recommended Posts

im pretty good about cleaning my guns, and i have several other satin (low gloss) stainless barrels and parts. But I was cleanings my sendero and noticed this greenish sticky funk on my bolt and in the corners of my mag box. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it, and what product that im using is possibly causing this? I checked all my other rifles and none of have this, only on my sendero? Thanks in advance

I use KG products exclusively, then wipe everything down with a very light coat of rem oil. Occasionally i use wipeout and let it sit overnight, when i just can't get to it until the next day.

Probably ought to use your copper solvent on the areas to get the "green funk" back into solution. Then wipe it off, lightly oil, wipe some more.

It does hurt to use wd-40 to help remove solvents and wipe then wipe with oil again as well to help get rid of left over stuff.

I'd stop using the Rem Oil and switch to another type of protectorant like Frog Lube, WD-40 Specialist Long Term Corrozion Inhibiter or Eezox.

Ok , i used my KG12, which cleans copper and it cleared it right up. Thank you so much! I don't understand how cleaning my bore is affecting my bolt? My bolt is removed during cleaning, and i use a bore guide to keep junk out of my mag box. I normally just clean my bold with rem oil and brake cleaner. Then finish with a light coat of rem oil, and a dab of gun grease. I guess ive just been using rem oil so long, is there something better out there?
