Hey Ed,

I like the Coke idea!!
There is a list out there with "1001 uses for Coke!", the last is " You also
can trink it!!" :))

Googling around on "Acetone lead remover", I found this:

_______________________________________________________________

Lead Removal

For really stubborn lead removal try a 50/50 mix of  3% Hydrogen Peroxide
(the common drug store variety) and white vinegar.  Plug the bore, fill it
up using a dropper or syringe and let it stand for 5-10 minutes.  (Do not
let it stand for too long.) You may get some foaming so protect the barrel's
external finish as this solution is not kind to bluing--so take appropriate
precautions. Drain and wipe out the black muck that used to be lead and then
immediately clean well with bore cleaner.

Thanks to Joe Sledge for this recipe.

Pure turpentine has reportedly also been used as a lead remover.

Also, as Acetone is the prime solvent in lots of paint
removers/cleaners/etc. you might want to experiment with Acetone.

I think someone in our hangar mentioned a mix of Acetone and Hydrogen
Peroxide, but I am not sure wether this possible/makes any sense/is
hear-say/or what - don't blow up your new hangar trying
plug-cleaner-witchcraft!!
