I have heard that if you have a really dirty gun, you can soak all the parts in kerosene.
Is this safe on the bluing?

Sweet. I learned the hard way with Hoppes 9 bore solvent. Some of it dribbled down my stock ---- varnish be gone! Bluing be gone!

I use kerosene for gun cleaning in my cheap chinese made parts washer.
Sometimes I end up soaking parts for a long time, like overnight, to get the gunk off. Never had any trouble with blueing.bob
