chenault Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 No problem, I just use that option because I'm impatient. Bead blasters scare me so I use dental pics and a hydrogen proxide and vinigar mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wonder if new folks even know there is a search function here. Suffice it to say that practically any question you can think of has been asked anywhere from a dozen to a hundred times.

Hi-Power Jack Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 BTW, if you use completely jacketed bullets ( JHP's or CMJ's) you won't have to clean your comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shoot Jacketed only and I get a lot of buildup. Must be carbon from AutoComp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurryvisions Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Soda blasters work nicely. Soak mine in bore solvent then get busy with the blaster. Any tough spots I use a stone on my dremel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc68cal Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I spray Ballistol into the comp and let it sit in the comp, then when I shoot it usually that breaks the deposits up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_Seehawer Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Dremel engraving tool. Replace the tip with a finish nail and shape the tip into the shape of a chisel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janskis Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I poured gun oil (yes yes i know i know, not the best or optimal) and let it soak for 24'ish hours. After that I proceeded to continue with a flathead screwdriver (and a hammer for the super tough parts). At first I was scared that I might damage the barrel as I managed to discover something shiny, but at some point I just thought "screw it" and kept going and eventually hit a gray spot. At that moment I realized that the carbon buildup was so tough that it was shiny after scraped. No mercy after that, now I have a clean comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often do you do you spray the oil into the comp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRPOperator Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I just use a gun cleaner like Hoppes and some pics and seems to get the job done. I am sure there are fast ways, but I just let it sit some times and reapply it if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clean my gun after every match, and probably spray ballistol in the comp every 4th cleaning or so, or when it starts to really build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncman Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I did the electrolysis removal of the lead. It worked, but took awhile and a little messy. There are 2000 Precision Delta 124's on the bench that arrived yesterday! Not looking back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
