cleaning my gun :)

>>64066901 (OP)
nice
don't forget to put it in the microwave to dry it :)

>>64066901 (OP)
I just put mine in the oven and turn on Clean Mode, leave it in for ~1 hour and it's good to go.

>Beretta
Leave it

Come to think of it, do you think deep frying in WD40 to clean would do more harm or more good?

>>64067132
did he intend to though?

would one of these bad boys work for cleaning out a star chamber?

Really not far off from how some "pro's" do it. I've seen armorers and gunsmiths use Simple Green (which isn't much different from Dawn dish soap) in ultra sonic cleaners. Rinse parts off in the sink when done, blow it dry with an air compressor, oil it up and blow off excess oil with air compressor.

>>64067994
so OP isn't shitposting? wtf I thought this would ruin a gun

>>64068387
It's just soapy water, as long as you dry it and oil it quickly it won't hurt anything. Air compressors make drying it quickly a lot easier. Letting it air dry slowly will cause rust though, and the soap will strip all oils from the gun, but sometimes that's what it takes to clean the gun, oil holds dirt.

>>64066901 (OP)
Steam it

>>64068387
if you can clean a knife with it you can clean a gun with it. just dry it like you would a knife. you also want to oil a gun to protect it from rust spots and make sure all the moving parts are lubricated as well

>>64066901 (OP)
Me too anon.

Wtf was that

>>64068731
do you guys also oil external parts like the outside of the slide and/or barrel? (e.g. for a 92)
doesn't that make the gun slippery?

>>64069589
I rub the slide and barrel down, so a light coat. The blue / parkerization on those parts acts kind of absorbs some oil so it doesn't feel slippery.

>>64068737
>Perfect
Sick

>>64067902
I don't know, but these are shit. Buy yourself a handheld compressor. Way stronger, rechargeable.

>>64067902
>cleaning
No
>dusting after cleaning
Probably. Also leaves a nasty ass taste on everything the released gas reaches (probably including your pistol grip and furniture by the time you're done) due to added bitterants trying to prevent retard junkies killing braincells huffing the shit. Not only does it not work, like at all, I don't think it should be added. Fuck 'em. Also, this: >>64071160, just be aware that oil and moisture can be in that air. Not a big deal for this use, though. Just be sure to let the pressure out and pull the drain plug in the bottom after use (ideally) to ensure the tank doesn't have any left over moisture inside to prolong tank life.

>>64068387
As long as you don't leave it long enough to rust, rinse the soap off with hot water afterwards, and dry it before the gun rusts (especially in dovetails or other tight spaces), then oil any steel parts to replenish lost oils, you're fine. Slightly warm air can help. Leaving it in the hot summer sun makes shit dry super fast which is just about the only thing I like about the heat of summer. Sun + breeze = easy drying of a lot of things.

>>64068737
wtf is that buzzing sound?

wash behind your sears!

Mr. Slave sucks my guns clean. Then he oils them up with AssMaster 2030 lube.

>>64069589
>do you guys also oil external parts like the outside of the slide and/or barrel?
If it's exposed metal than yes. If it's cerakoted or something like that then no, doesn't need it. Minimal oil is fine but important preservative.
>doesn't that make the gun slippery?
No unless you're retardedly overdoing it.

If a gun is going into storage for long periods (>6-9 months) use grease and just accept that you'll need to clean it again before putting it back into active duty.

>>64068387
Paul Harrel has a video where he cleans guns using soap and water.

>>64067994
don't tell anyone
but i used to use carburetor cleaning spray to clean firearm parts in the military
(obviously i applied oil afterwards)
works like a charm

don't try it it eats plastic and paint

All the retards in this therad that don;t realise that guns metal work like the barrel and bolt etc HAD to be cleaned with boiling water for hundreds of years and were in many caes right up top the 1950s.

Fun fact I have the privilage of cleaning a lot of very very old ad beautiful guns and when one arrives in the FIRST thing that barrels and locks and bolts get is boiling hot water and dish soap and several rinses of just boiling water.

It makes me cry when I see arseholes like scolla gladitoria cleaning old brown swords with metal polish and wire wool when have of them have remaining blue and gilt underneath that just needs some light passes with a steam cleaner and some wet wipes to lift the drud off.

I have no idea how polymer guns react to bioling water but then again most people grow out of teh tactilarp stage pretty fast when they realise it is stacked with the most price jacked over marketed garbage in the world of gunz

can damage bluing anon, has its uses asdoes acetone but it can go very wrong. Water hat is hot enough to steam off won't harm the metallic parts of a gun in any way

ultrasonic cleaner

>>64068737
i was always told that putting soaps into an ultrasonic cleaner can somehow damage the drivers, is that just fuddlore?

>>64074018
how would that even be possible? its a stainless steel tub. the business end is sealed underneath

>>64074018
you're literally supposed to use soap in ultrasonic cleaners. it doesn't just work with plain water. but you have to use a special non-foaming soap or else you'll have a very fancy bubble machine

>>64072732
Don't forget to wash ya foregrip!

>>64073269
>>64073810
Brake cleaner is a great degreaser and parts cleaner (helper) and unlike carb cleaner, it shouldn't(*) damage bluing. Dollar General used to have some real cheap stuff in a blue can and it was just straight acetone, no chlorinated solvents. Worked wonders on filthy ass (NON PLASTIC) parts. Great degreaser before painting, too. I forget what I've used it on but I miss it. Then again boiling works even better as a degreaser and it also converts your rust so why bother.

>All the retards in this therad that don;t realise that guns metal work like the barrel and bolt etc HAD to be cleaned with boiling water for hundreds of years and were in many caes right up top the 1950s.
Not only that but boiling water and steam convert rust back into bluing. Iron, Fe, rusts, making it Fe2O3. Boiling and steam (somehow) converts it into Fe3O4, magnetite. Don't (directly) quote me on the chemistry there but it does work.
>I have no idea how polymer guns react to bioling water
Warping, badly, probably.

>>64073805
l2write nigga wtf

>>64074579
All the alcohol fumes from the shellac and the acetone vapors from degreasing got to his head, anon, please understand.

>>64074054
Some alcohol may be able to calm the suds a bit (temporarily, until it evaporates). Shouldn't hurt cleaning performance but why bother unless you already filled it with the wrong soap.

>>64068731
MODS MODS MODS! NSFW is being posted and it's making my pp hard!

>>64074054
You can also use plain water and put the item to be cleaned inside another container with the cleaning solution

>>64078473
NTA but I was planning on doing that to keep the silencer and gun gunk out of the tub. Never going to use it for anything food related but it's nice to not have all that shit to deal with. Or I could do it the other way around and put a tub inside specifically when cleaning I don't want gun gunk on.
