	I've got a pint of mercury I accumulated over the years doing electrical work in industrial factories. Many limit switches used mercury and when one failed you had to remove the mercury switches before you tossed them in the scrap. I kept pouring it in a bottle and once I didn't run into those switches anymore I brought the bottle home. I used to clean the muzzle brake ports on my Hi Standard target pistol by hanging a wire on the brake and drop it in the bottle for a night.

	Bought some Evaporust and filled the bore. Going to let it go 24 hrs and see what it looks like then. If no better I will try the steel wool JB paste thing and see what that does. Like said what do I have to lose. Marlinguy you stated "ST" meant set triggers but mine is single. Wonder what is up with that. JMH

That's funny I used my small mercury stash for the same thing cleaning out the lead deposits in my old 102 and 103 Hi Standard muzzle brakes on my Bullseye pistols Rick

	I have access to a lot of old mercury that was used in mining sluices for grabbing fine gold (then retorted out). I suppose that if I ever had a heavily leaded barrel I could get hold of enough to clean it out. I suppose if it still had some gold in it, it would end up in the lead.
