Foaming bore cleaners a No No in ARs?

Right over a few heads. I wasn't implying that I purposely leave/left foam in for months but to make a point that if there is an accidental overflow of foam that someone missed and left in their firearm it will turn in to a tar/sap like substance. Once again gunslick is aware of this and that is why they don't recommend using it in ARs. To each their own...I don't care how many of you guys have good luck with it I'm not taking a chance. If I were going to spray brake cleaner through the gas tube afterwards I wouldn't see it being a problem. Theres no tube on my 44 carbine as for the real reason I started this post so I'm not taking a chance gumming it up. The whole point of the above statement was for the non beleivers to leave some foam in their firearm to see for theirselves how it turns in to literally tree sap and make others aware if they don't get any overflow of foam out of their firearm after cleaning they will end up with a sticky mess.

This is hard, what happened to Hoppe's No 9, CLP and Barnes CR-10.
I caught that on the Ruger 44 carbine too. Mine sure doesn't have one.
I like 3 in 1 oil and get some RIG. Wilson white pistol grease, thin coat.
old school.
