So, in other words, this has all the markings of a typical
Usenet bull**** story that has taken on a life of it's own.


Yep, that's about it. After excavating some of the history, it
appears to me that the original source, ingredients, test results, and
anecdotal testimonials have all changed over the last 10 years and
cannot be relied upon to be accurate.

BTW: The acetone + ATF mix is the basis of Ed's Red bore cleaner for
your home artillery:

Kroil works and using WD-40 is about as useful as ****ing
on it.


Everything works if you also use a large hammer.
