DMAC Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Hornady is now making a larger ultrasonic case cleaner and I've thought about it for other uses such as cleaning AR complete BCG, shotgun bolt, M&P and Glock frames and barrels. I realize you still need to clean the inside of the pistol barrel, but I was wondering if this would help minimizing the scrubbing/cleaning time of smaller parts. Anyone out there use an ultrasonic cleaner for these things? Edited March 7, 2011 by DMAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle O Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 compressed air, and some kind of CLP type cleaner (whatever is around) Wipe with a microfiber towel, oil, and continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gm iprod Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 HAd an ultrasonic cleaner for a few years. When cleaning handguns etc, I tend to disassemble and clean of majority of heavy residue with Kerosine and a tooth brush, preferably someone elses. A full clean is then performed with Hoppes or similar, sometimes when in a hurry out with the brake clean. Once it looks really clean then into the Ultrasonic, filled with Kerosine, 30minutes. The Kero will turn black real fast as the last of the powder residue falls out. Oil the hell out of it. I also like to get SLide Glide intot eh inner workings, this will keep the residue softer for longer and help with general reliability. Store Kero in good fuel container and the crap will settle to the bottom and you can continually reuse the top 90%. Once a month throw the bottom 10% away.
