    Gives a good few results through the skan unit but after that it's back to normality, I read a article in one of the mags years ago about inducing fluids down the port hole and other areas, Great results for a couple of shots.

    Nothing to do with the OP but as kids we used a squirt of model diesel engine fuel in the back of a pellet. Lovely crack and a great smell. didn't work every time, mixture had to be just right.
    That reminds me I still have a can of fuel in the workshop!!!

    I have read this several times. I think it must be that folk have tried it on home cold blued barrels. I have never heard of WD damaging any proper blued or blacked steel. Certainly not any of mine.
