Dishwasher m14 warning.

[870supermag]

My friend got his 305 today and decided to try the whole gun in the dishwasher thing and it didn’t turn out so well he put it in on the pots and pans setting and pulled it out right after it was done and this is the result.

I used a bottle of simple green and then some brake clean followed by a rag with some gun cleaner finally a little gun oil on a rag and I was very happy with the results I know there are people on here that have had success with the dishwasher but just be aware that it might cause some harm I’d hate to see more people having this problem.

i thought the dishwasher "technique" was just for stocks?
sucks to be your friend tonight...

 

[Morpheus32]

The dishwasher technique IS for stocks....not for rifles.....

I am at a loss for words....

 

[Northman999]

I'M FREAKIN' CRYING!

The dishwasher thing is just for stocks, to remove cosmo, and even then; it's mostly only for stocks you want to do a serious refinish on!

MY EYES BURN!

That dish washer deal was for the wood stock only
Not the complete GUN ! (LOL)

Send it back for warranty
LOL LOL !!!

I don't know much about guns, but I doubt anything but the stock should have went into the dishwasher, correct me if i'm wrong here.

 

[Northman999]

Does this qualify for "...or your #### will fall off."???

 

[Silverback]

Looks like it could use a bit (ok, a gallon) of oil. I guess the chrome lined bore will be ok, maybe?

I can't help it . That is hilarious . Dose CGN have a buba of the month award

 

[Valashnikov]

Oh, that so sucks! I'll take it if he doesn't want it anymore... Sorry that was insensitive of me. I am not a nice person.

 

[stuckon308]

Ouch. Did he put soap in it?

 

[Redlight35]

Oh, that so sucks! I'll take it if he doesn't want it anymore... Sorry that was insensitive of me. I am not a nice person.

If he doesn't want it anymore, I'm sure someone here could take it off his hads.... for somewhat of a discount i'm sure!

 

[Valashnikov]

We are a bunch of parasites....lol.

 

[suprathepeg]

Your friend may want to have the rifle blued again. Live and learn I guess.

 

[Divermike]

shaking my head back and forth with tears of laughter

 

[Kwattro]

OMFG. This is a joke ya? It's not ruined but it'll cost a bit to get 'er back. I'm so sorry.

Dear Sweet Baby Jesus...

But, How does the stock look now that its been properly cleaned? Much better than before I bet.

I finally stopped laughing enough to type this . If "YOUR" friend dose not want to spend money to reblue . you can plug the barrel or fill with auto grease , then glass bead the metal . Then use the paste cold blue . it will give it a military type finish . I did this to a old FAL 10 yrs ago & it still looks good

Strip it down and put the whole thing in. Small parts in the basket. Get ready to oil it as soon as it comes out. It'll be hot and dry and ready to rust. I use the regular dishwasher detergent pucks. You won't get the parts any cleaner and it gets all the little nooks. Every gun I get, long or pistol, get the same treatment if covered with anything gunky. Just watch anything made of plastic, some types will melt.

My wife is understanding. I just have to wait till the dishes are done.

I imagin it was a post like this that may have sent him in this direction i have found a few that say the same. He is in the prosses of cleaning it up so sorry i dont think he will be selling it.
