The guy over at rec.guns left the mixture in the barrel overnight! Sure,
peracetic acid will attack even spring steels on long exposure. The idea
behind the vinegar and peroxide treatmment is to selectively remove lead in
a short-exposure {3-5 minutes} soaking of the bore. {cork the chamber fill
the bore and watch the bubbles!}
The .45ACP barrel in question was not identified as to material of
construction. Given that 10 minutes of exposure will erode away enough of a
1992 penny to remove the date, I would worry about some stainless steels.
