SnipTheDog Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Is there any downside to ultrasonic cleaning the BCG? Is it effective, or just a waste of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I use an ultrasonic cleaner every time I clean my AR, or my MPX BCG. I've used various brands of 'firearm' specific cleaning solutions. They all work about the same. Yes, it is effective, but it won't eliminate some manual, physical scraping, etc...and you'll still have to pull the bolt apart to wipe up anything left under the extractor, it just makes it much easier.

I find it very effective. The only downside is it may remove some finishes so I don’t leave parts in for more than 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrounger Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Many use the purple ultra green in their US. Be careful with anodized aluminum it can remove the finish. Remember to oil your parts afterwards, the US will remove all the oils and can speed up rust. Also, I’ve cracked plastic on mine when using the heat setting too long.
