What solvents are you supposed to avoid when cleaning a chrome lined  barrel?  Can you use Hoppes #9?  

Are you supposed to avoid ammonia?

Thanks...

Ammonia solvents are fine, just don't leave them in there for  more than a few minutes. Hoppes #9 will work wonderfully. Quib touts BreakFree bore foam (foaming bore cleaner). I have yet to try it (i will when i need resupply), but trust his assessment of that product. Then like the above post said.............clean it like any other.
