InTheBlack Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 I changed my load & powder recently, and I dont' have it quite right because I'm getting a lot of unburned powder residue gunking up the innards of my blaster. I don't have any idea why residue wipes right off, but unburned powder wants to stick so tenaciously to the insides of the a gun. And its always in the corners where a toothpick won't go. It occured to me that since Hoppe's is mostly kerosene anyway, I could solve the problem by the quick application of a propane torch to the frame...

Steve Anderson Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Not a Glock, right? Tupperware ain't even dishwasher safe... (remember Flex, I like Glocks now...) SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 I think the Glock would do just fine on the top-rack of the dishwasher (though I wouldn't want that waste from a dirty gun floating around in the Maytag). ITB...there ought to be any number of cleaners that would get at the gunk. - a good CLP - a detergent, like Simple Green - Gunscrubber - brake cleaner lots of options. if you do the kerosene and the torch...could ya vidoe that for us???

Steve Anderson Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 If mineral spirits is safe for glocks (I don't know) it might be a good choice combined with a toothbrush. It works great on my Beretta frames. SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Do what I did: quit cleaning your gun. Every now and then I'll scrub the lead out & re-slide glide it. Then I fuggedabowdit and go shoot. Shooting is MUCH more entertaining than cleaning anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 What Eric said! Cleaning should occur annually when you replace the springs in the gun.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Eric, Cleaning can be entertaining. Especially when the guy you sold a 44 Desert Eagle too three days previously comes back with it, in a small paper bag, and asks for help with the neat new JIGSAW he just invented after deciding to clean the gun properly.
