martilyo 1 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I finally had the time to clean my new 5.45x39. I use Gun Scrubber and noticed the GunScrubber dripped off a purple color. What is it? I know cosmoline is brown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zenmetsu 17 Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 sometimes the crap around the primers is red or purple in color... would probably take a lot of rounds to make the gunscrubber come out purple though.... so i dunno. I do not use Gun Scrubber so I have no idea what color it normally is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
