Has anyone cleaned a gun using this cleaner?

Yep, sure will, but metal parts only and after they are removed from the firearm. Make sure to use the solution made for gun parts only and not the brass solution as it can damage certain parts. It can clean just about any metal part that will fit into the basket, just be careful with aluminum as it can turn black. Use the appropriate cleaner only (Lyman or Hornady same things) and stay away from household cleansers like Lemishine for gun parts as it can cause discoloration and leeching.

Not a full gun, but Glock slides/barrels, 1911 slide/barrel, Rem 870 steel internals, lots of M16 BCGs, MP5 bolt/carriers, UMP 40 bolt/carriers. Works awesome on all the above.

polymer like the Glock? this stuff is not stinky or toxic, does a GREAT job cleaning the crud off your firearm.

I use half vinegar,water and a tablespoon of dish soap. I use mine for cleaning ammo brass. After cleaning I put the brass in water with baking soda ,then rinse with clean water. Works great.

Michael, I understand the chamber lube is designed for springer use. However, I don't see any harm in using it on an air piston rifle for barrel cleaning and pellet lubrication (if you choose to do this). To initially clean a barrel, I use a 1/8" wooden dowel rod for my .177" barrel. Over the tip I place small pieces of cotton padding (Like women use for make-up removal. I get ~80 per pack at the local dollar store and cut each patch into a bunch of smaller pieces) to make a snug but not too tight fit. I run those through the barrel (starting where you load the pellet) until they come out pretty clean. Then, I put a drop or so of chamber lube oil down the barrel and continue running cotton patches through it. A bunch of them. I keep checking the barrel until it is absolutely clean. Spotless clean with no junk residue on the white cotton patches. Once the barrel is clean, consider cleaning and lubricating the pellets. I didn't at first and after ~ 75 shots the barrel was pretty dirty. So, I cleaned it again. Spotless. And, I washed the pellets. Put 250 or 500 in a plastic cup with hot washer and dishwashing liquid soap. Swish the soap around some, and pour the pellets into a strainer (another find at the local dollar store), rinse well, and dry. To dry, I leave mine in the strainer, place in direct sunlight for a few hours to dry ... shifting the pellets around several times to ensure all the water is drained from the pellets, and put the pellets into a small plastic container (or back into the original container). On the inside of the top of lid, I put two drops of the chamber lube oil, close the lid and roll the pellets around inside the container. Done. Shoot. Enjoy. No dieseling. Barrel stays clean and very lightly lubricated. Don't know that this improves accuracy (I'm still working on breaking in the gun), but it sure keeps the fingers and barrel clean. Hope this helps. ...

Absolutely yes. It will clean any reapon from .22 cal to a 12 guage shotgun. I clean my 9mm pistol with it and you would use the same brush to clean a .38 since they are very close.

sure , it is non toxic and rather mild , in addition, for a complete cleaning , I use hoppes for the bore , and wipe down the gun with gun oil if it will be stored for awhile .

Sure. Just be sure to use gun cleaning solution, not brass cleaning solution.

Assuming you are being serious and not a troll. You never want to clean muzzle to chamber if you can help it. The risk is damaging the muzzle effecting the accuracy of the firearm. However with some revolvers this can't be helped so be careful.

I did not have that problem. Try a coat of quality gun oil and wipe it dry see if that helps.

This is a one stop shop for cleaning and lubricating. I usually clean with the CLP, wipe the gun down, then reapply CLP for lubricant. I use it on all my Glocks with no adverse effect on the polymer parts.

I would go with the pull through cleaning system. That is the one i got and it is very easy to use and cleans my .22 and 12 gauge awesome. I would recommend this cleaning kit in the pull through. Fricken love mine. Use it every time after i go shooting.

I use the Hornady cleaner, I believe it does both, because my guns have a combo of stainless and blued. I looked at the label, and it says safe for all metals.

A gun oil will work fine for cleaning that gun. This oil is for the chamber only, in the hole leading to the barrel as you never want to get a petroleum based oil in there.

No this is is a heavy oil only. I use it on the bolt carrier of my AR. It has no cleaning properties.

Depends on amount of air pressure you have going through it. Its a good clean up gun with an adjustable tip for flow, for most jobs it works good. But for that old caked on dried grease It will take longer to get it off, you can reuse same cleaner to save money

No, I haven't. I did use it to remove latex paint from a metal doorsill! It worked great.

I haven't yet, but the gun doesn't seem to have as much suction as it used to. Good luck.
