The ultrasonic bath excels at this task. My guns have thus far been spared, but I've used it to clean bicycle chains and freewheels, as well as carburetors. === In basic training we used to get sand in the M-14 trigger mechanism all the time. The unauthorized but effective cure was to wash it under hot soapy water, rinse, dry, and re-oil immediately. We washed our M-14 under hot (really hot) soapy water in OCS. Then we rinsed them in hot (really hot) water. Each individual then waved the hot pieces around to air dry them. Worked well. I think the hot soapy water thing started when they were using corrosive ammo. |
