OK I have a question ? Is it true what I was told today at the range that copper solvent over time can attack the chrome in the barrel ??? I have never heard of such a thing and was wondering if anyone else has . The solvent in question is Hoppes #9 Copper solvent .

Your bore is HARD chrome plated. There is no copper under it. You can soak all you want with no worries.

I just read, from the Hoppes website, that prolonged contact of Hoppes solvents is NOT recommended with nickel or chrome.
