Seafoam is pale oil and isopropyl alcohol....nothing really special. The alcohol is what has the cleaning effect and the pale oil gives it the oily feeling.

i use Seafoam in engines to help clean the internal workings. Never thought about using it to soften the carbon buils up in my firearms. I'm gonna' try it next time. Thanks for the idea.

i believe that seafoam has no carbon removing properties of its own, only when used in the combustion process does it have any effect. at that, its said the mechanism needs to be hot, allowed to soak, then detonated for best results. many have drawn comparisons to the olden days of injecting steam / water mist into piston cylinders.
but do what you want |

In my Mosin nagants I leave the last round I fired in the chamber to use as a plug then fill the barrel while still hot. Soaking a cold bolt in it does loosen the carbon up.

I use concentrated carb soak to remove all the fowling from my bolts and carrier. It's meant to dissolve carb build up and works well

Kroil is your friend! Fill a medicine bottle half way and drop your bolt into it while you clean the rest of your rifle, when you get done almost all of the carbon will have fallen off.
