Watching many "Ultrasonic Gun Cleaning" on KZbin, haven't seen many mention about after the Ultrasonic Gun Cleaning bath(simple green method), should I rinse with water or just blow dry with air gun ?

[@SeanTownsendStormrider]

That model does come with a basket, Harbor Freight owes you one.

[@jere4524]

The instructions say not to use it without the plastic basket.

[@stevenmattes5599]

There is no residue from the cleaner on the inside of the BCG?

[@steveng4252]

What about rubber like the extractor o ring? I read ultrasonic cleaners aren't good for soft parts.

[@fafhrdkreig4739]

Another great cleaner is Balistol it is the original CLP it is a water soluble oil that cleans and protects and when done leaves a fine oil film on your parts. Also reusable by pouring into a jug with a funnel lined with a coffee filter.

[@fafhrdkreig4739]

Commented before I finished the video so you know about Balistol you can dilute with water and save a step in that your parts are already lubed.

[@2AGunsmithingandFirearms]

I am a Ballistol dealer and use it for many purposes too! Love that stuff. Like you said - the original (bio friendly) CLP.

[@ronalddavis]

ballistol smells like ass

[@janwilliams178]

I've watched a few of these cleaning videos but you've achieved the best results.

[@2AGunsmithingandFirearms]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@mdbm777]

How do you know? Did I miss the part where he shows the bolt before? It seemed to me it was pulled from the carrier and thrown right in

[@iseeyou8781]

@@mdbm777huh. Both those BCGs are complete before he takes them apart.

[@mdbm777]

​@@iseeyou8781No one said they weren't. He shows the bolt up close after it comes out but not before, so it's not a great illustration of how effective it cleans other than taking his word for it.

[@iseeyou8781]

@@mdbm777 then you failed grammar.

[@TimHellaby]

save youself the hassle and mess of filling the unit with cleaning solution, put your parts in a good frezzer ziplock bag and fill the bag with the cleaning solution, then fill the unit with water and run parts are cleaned in the bag no mess to clean up when done. also I would blow dry all the nooks and crannIies. Also you may want yo use Distilled water to make up your solution...

[@rcrinsea]

I have been very underwhelmed by my Hornady ultrasonic cleaner. It doesn't do anything but strip all the oils out of the oarts and make the surface clean but doesn't remove ANY baked in carbon. I was using Lyman gun parts cleaning solution. Not at all.

[@CramcrumBrewbringer]

Are you mixing the solution with water at all?

[@NepsysHypertunia]

I'll get to use it.

[@mrwashur1991]

I used clp in mine in a separate container in some water. I cleaned the shit out of mine in like 20 minutes and I don’t have to lube after haha. Mine also heats up so that helps

[@nicholaosskiadas9083]

Can we use the device for pistol frame cleaning ?

[@2AGunsmithingandFirearms]

Nicholaos Skiadas absolutely! I wouldn’t use the heated setting on a polymer frame, just in case.

@@2AGunsmithingandFirearms Thank you !!

[@jasonb7878]

Thank you

[@billrandolph8606]

could a person take an entire trigger assembly and put it in there without completely disassembling the part??? I would thing as long as you got it dry, it would work great. Unless it could hurt springs in some way?? I know this is an old video but I sure would like to hear from you! Thanks

[@2AGunsmithingandFirearms]

Bill, as long as it's dry afterwords, it should be fine :-) I've seen and head of people doing similar things. Use compressed air to blow dry out large water droplets, then put it in the oven or use a heat gun/blow dryer to get any residual moisture out, spray in your favorite lube and it should be good to go.

[@billrandolph8606]

@@2AGunsmithingandFirearms ok. Thank you!!

[@haxxorsheep]

If your not using hot water you need to turn the heat on before using this.

[@jeffmccartney7713]

What about cleaning polymer frames?

[@anotherroady6234]

I use about 2 tbs dawn and some baking soda, heat to 50 C and run for 20 minutes. Works great.

[@Nonyabusiness911]

Unless you completely break down a gun I can see moisture being left behind. Also it would remove all lubricants. I saw a gunsmith who after put all the parts in a rinse then in a lubrication solution. Now it’s lubed everywhere.

[@rcrinsea]

Yes, it does remove all oils snd lubricants. What it does not remove is baked-in carbon... Disappointing.

[@coyotewisconsin6432]

Does a water based cleaner rust the parts compared to a solvent solution? Have you tried blued parts?

[@2AGunsmithingandFirearms]

Nope! You just have to make sure the parts are totally dry once you're done. Blued parts come out just fine in my experience thus far.

[@coyotewisconsin6432]

ok thanks

[@chuy0720]

Coyote Wisconsin how to bluing a gun ,

[@ZipZoomZip]

@@2AGunsmithingandFirearms The detergent solution should be rinsed with clear water before drying. Otherwise there is dried cleaner on the parts that will break down some of the oil you apply after the cleaning. Probably not a big deal but not ideal. But neither is using water. Why don't you use solvents that won't react with metal to clean the parts with?

[@NgJackal1990]

Does it clean lead and powder from gun bolt and barrel?

[@manux1508]

It should but if you have chemicals i would use them before ultrasonic

Not quite environmentally friendly when you have lead in the solution after the cleaning process....

[@timhoyer8049]

I could give 2 shits about environmentally friendly crap, but the video was really good!

[@johnvoit9629]

Who cares about what you care about? What you said, fuck the environment I live in. Hope you let your kids eat lead paint chips and they grow sterile.

[@SomeoneElseInTheComments]

Thanks for letting us know. We could've mistaken you for some kind of filthy environmentalist, what with your electric car and all!

[@klmenschcplchaos2526]

Environmentaly friendly, haha a liberal AR owner from New York.

[@paulk6116]

i put all parts in oven at 180 for 20 minutes to ensure drying

[@lifeofmike556]

I think we should care about the environment left or right! Think of the Earth like your body. You only get one. And it doesn't live forever

Nothing wrong with liking our planet.

[@davidscott1340]

The cleaner is safe but you should wear gloves when handling all that grunge on the dirty parts.
