So what do you do at 3am? Nothing but repeats on Fox News and infomercials on regular channels. How about reading owner's manuals?
Read something disturbing - now I'll never get back to sleep.
The following quote is from the Henry's 22 Owner's Manual
Whoa! Gun Scrubber is Abrasive? What is with the bores on Henry's Guns? I wonder if it is safe to use a Bore Snake.

TMan; Sounds like it means to use something with less strength that holds up against evaporation. When Hoppes #9 is missing, it's time to listen. You did good by reading the manuel first. I have a Volquartsen barrel on one of my buckmarks and the manuel advises against the use of brushes and rods, only patches pulled through by a string.
I use Gun Scrubber mostly on the internal actions of some of my guns to blast away fouling, without having to completely detail disassemble the frame; I always follow up with lubrication to certain areas.

I sent an e-mail to Henry Arms and got a fast reply. Here is part of his response:
So the problem isn't with the barrel, he doesn't what the paint on the receiver cover being removed.
I read somewhere that with Ruger's New Vaquaro's with the case-coloring that certain solvents can remove the coloring. I'll tell you what: looking at the Ruger - they did one heck of a job making it look like true color case hardening. Lot better job that looking at the Beretta crap.

I had a feeling it had to do with a coating somewhere on the reciever, but it sounded like they was also referring to the bore. With a powder coated finish; I would try to get by with CLP and a cotton wipe rag on that portion.
