Hornady ultrasonic cleaner

[redddogg69]

Well despite all the bad things said about ultrasonics here I picked one up at Epps a few weeks back. I was a bit remiss in cleaning my DE in 44 mag and was dreading cleaning it (it carbon fouls like crazy even after only 100 rounds). So I mixed up some 50/50 vinegar and water solution and stripped it down and ran the parts through the ultrasonic. Took about 30 min to get them all through a few cycles (detail stripped the entire top end). While it didn't completely get it all clean (left a slight film on the parts that was easily wiped away with some hoppes 9) it saved my about an hour of elbow grease in cleaning. I was very happy with it's performance. I can see where the shiny brass crowd would be less than thrilled with the unit, however it is a godsend for small parts and does a respectable job on the brass as well.

I think ultrasonic cleaners are amazing and do a fantastic job at cleaning parts and brass, thoroughly. Highly recommend them!

I'm planning on buying a 15 litre ultrasonic cleaner in the near future.

+1 for ultrasonics. I have a Sharpetek which Hornady re-badged and jacked up the price on. I definitely could use a bigger one now.

I have a table top Ultrasonic cleaner that I bought for brass, and I cleaned a few handguns in it using Ultrasonic Cleaning Solution #083-000-031 and the Ultrasonic Gun Oil #083-000-032 from Brownells. It did such a good job I bought a large ultra-sonic cleaner from Crest and threw myself into the commercial gun cleaning business.

NICE Now i am thinking of getting one to clean my revolvers... I HATE the dark blast marks in front of the cylynder on my 357's!!!

If your revolver is stainless, you will be amazed at the results, but the dark circles around the chambers on the cylinder face will remain.
