I don't know what this one's made from, but think it safe to assume it's either steel (probably not terribly good), or wrought iron, neither of which are particularly resistant to acids. If Coke can dissolve tooth enamel, I fear what it might do to the integrity of a wrought iron gun barrel. Have you ever used it for things like this?

All the best, Merry Christmas to one and all.

No, I haven't used it on Arms; more in mechanical situations .

For de-corroding kerises I use acidic fruit juice soaks .
