Will this dissolve bronze/brass bore brushes?

Not at all. I have used it it with plastic bristle brushes as well and have had no effect on them. Been using it for over 3 years with no problems what so ever.

I have not used it enough to see this happen, but I would imagine that it would not be good for them in the long run. I know you are not supposed to leave it in the barrel for an extended period because it will damage the steel. I can't imagine that a brass/copper brush would last long if not washed after use.

There is one solution for brass casings and one for gun parts. Do not interchange the two. I have cleaned both stainless and blue parts in the gun parts solution, both with great results.

I see no danger with respect to the ingredients. But will the turpentine clean these white spots? I have no idea what these are. If mineral spirits won't remove these, then Boston Polish likely will not, either. If the bronze is not lacquered, Brass-O will clean it nicely, patina and all. You might not want that! Of course, Boston Polish will make the surface appear shinier. You need to decide if that's okay.

Probably not because military brass tends to have the primer glued in and it's tough to get it out. I haven't gotten any of the primers out of mine but someone told me if you push it will pop out.

I didn't use,it on brass or copper but it works very well on silver. The label doese't say anything about brass or copper. Thanks,Jimmy

better off using brass bristles to be safe.. over time the full on stainless steel bristles could scratch it, leading to rusting.. they make one just like this with brash bristles..

It will until you give the Debrox time to work. That's the trick, giving it time to do it's dissolving magic! Once it dissolves the wax, the water goes in and comes right out, just like it's supposed to.

I use the Hornady cleaner, I believe it does both, because my guns have a combo of stainless and blued.I looked at the label, and it says safe for all metals.

Haven't used on Brass.... Used on Silver and Gold... It's all natural so i can't see it doing any harm.... I say give it a try...

I would use a cup of sudsy ammonia in a bucket of warm water. Ammonia will dissolve the finish.

I say yes, tumble it, brass comes out clean, but dark and blotchy.Also make sure you dry them out very well, water stays in the primer area, and if you load a primer with moisture in it, it will kill the primer. Tumbling will help with this.

I'm sorry, I can not answer your question. I only use it for cleaning rife and pistol brass .

I use mine on bronze brass and aluminum regularly making finer adjustments in the surface. Hard grinding on a grinding wheel on the bench next to this device. The two machines work well together.

Works well on solid brass. Be careful with brass plated items due to the thinness of plating.

I didn't like this product. Totally useless. I would ask an antique dealer what to use on your antique brass. Good luck

No, It is only effective on Brass! If you spray it on stainless steel it will dry to a milky appearance.

Yes, the only issue with this rod is that the rod end is made of brass, which if used with certain solvents will give you a false positive for copper. Many newer solvents will react with the brass causing a bluish tint to the solvent left behind in the barrel. When you push the next patch through, the patch will look bluish, giving the impression that your barrel is not clean when it actually might be. I have used this rod extensively and it has performed well.
