Gunner, I'm pretty sure you can't do any harm with an occasional cleaning with Flitz. I like it better than JB, simply because it is cleaner to work with. I don't suppose you'd want to give a barrel 100 strokes every 25 rounds, but for that once in 200 or 300 round "deep clean", it seems to work well. JMO, Dutch.

I've used it like that before but not often anymore. It's the darndest thing but you can take a perfectly clean barrel and patch flitz into it and the patch will come out black. This will happen over and over again and you will get a funny metalic smell out of the barrel. I don't know whats going on in there but it is strange and a little bit scarey! Every now and then I will take a patch soaked in kroil and put just a little flitz on it and that lessens the above reaction so to speak.
By the way--flitz is an unbelievable scratch remover on glossy stocks--try it and watch small scratches disappear.

thanks for the replys.seams like flitz turns black when using it on lots of things if i remember right. jason
