50 + yrs. shooting m/lers , i 've never knowingly used soap of any kind in a steel gunbarrel to clean it. Warm , or fawcet hot water and WD 40 to prevent tight cleaning patch from sticking. Warm cleaning water also heats the barrel and aids in drying the bore after the water. Using WD 40 also causes a brown looking patch , as that's the color of it. The phosphorous in soap is corrosive to ferous metal.
