Has anyone used this for cleaning gun parts? Or, just "parts" in an ultrasonic cleaner?

I have used it on gun parts, car transmissions, carburetors, alternators, and my hands. Works great. I cannot imagine needing to nor have I used it in an ultrasonic. Since it is flammable, I would not think it a good idea.

Beware use in any ultrasonice cleaner, due to VERY low flash-point of D-limonene. Even though you might be aware, I'll mention for others reading, who might not be, that ultrasonic cleaners will naturally heat up the liquid bath (even without the use of their optional "heaters") due simply to the transfer of energy from the ultrasonic waves to the solution and parts therein...

I use it sparingly at 100% to clean guns. Perhaps, depending on your specific purpose, you could successfully mix it with water but that might also invite rusting.

Cleaning the gun can help remove any discharge that accumulates. I clean it after a couple days just to keep it in good working order. If it continues you might want to take it in for service; sometimes it could be something else only a qualified service location can address.

WD-40 Specialist works fine on firearms, especially on guns that need major cleaning and lubricating. However, I've just found a firearm lube that is superior to anything I've ever used - - M-Pro 7. This gun lube along with the M-Pro 7 gun cleaner work miracles on any metal moving parts and the lube is great for protecting the exposed metal parts of firearms as well. I've even used this lube on fishing reels with stunning success and this really works in protecting reels from water and grime. M-Pro 7 lube and the related gun cleaner are VERY low odor and not corrosive to plastics. Available at big box retailers that sell firearms and probably at outdoors/outfitter retailers as well. More info at MPro7.com. I use firearms for hunting and was skeptical about M-Pro 7 marketing as a lube for tactical firearms, but after using this stuff I'm convinced it is the real deal. (Disclaimer: I have NO financial or any other connection to M-Pro 7 and it's manufacturer and related distributors/retailers.)

It is made to clean all of those, but will inevitably break within the first couple of uses. I broke three tips the first time I cleaned my shotgun, .45, and .22. The plastic is cheap, the brass rod broke right away. You get what you pay for with this item.

I am not sure for bore cleaner, as far as friction based moving parts it ranks as the best as far as I am concerned !

I use mineral spirits to clean my carbs. (small engine and motorcycle carbs).Works great. Fill a mason jar (canning jar) with the mineral spirits and parts to be cleaned, then I fill the ultrasonic cleaner with water up to the same level as what's in the jar.Saves on having to use tons of mineral spirits.I use different cleaning solutions depending on what I'm cleaning.

Think I've cleaned about 4-5k 223 rem brass and 2-3k of 308 with odd bits of pistol brass thrown in. Still working good. Added a small dog bed in a cardboard box to cut out the noise.

,absolutely it'll clean all of that out all that black powder residue 1 of the best cleaners around that being said please note that I said cleaner that means inside the boar if the gun is blued keep it off the blueing long-term exposure to this could possibly cause pitting while cleaning the boar I would invert your rifle or whatever it is you're cleaning so that any excess solvent runs out to the cardboard or whatever you have it sitting on August we put something underneath the weapon tonight just let it rest on your floor as a solvent will probably eat through the linoleum or whatever you have for flooring it will eat through just about anything if its exposed long enough well I hope this helped you happy shooting

Not sure. I've used Hoppes solvents and oils for years on my firearms but never on airguns. When I do clean an airgun I use air tool oil which you can buy at any hardware or tools retail store. Your best bet is to call a Umirex technical assistant at their customer service number. In general avoid making the parts "wet' with lubricant, it just drains off and attracts/holds dirt to the part. A really thin coat of grease at at heavy wear point of friction would be more effective. By all means keep the lubricant, especially petroleum, away from the seals of the air chamber where the air getscompressed or released under high pressure. It can damage the seals and there is some high heat that occurs when hi-pressure air is explosively released.

Yes, it cleans and lubricate. If bore really dirty, better to use solvent or bore cleaner.

no its not, u dont have to have the higher speed to clean brass, this IS the best cleaner on the market, hands down. There is nothing out there better, period. The gun stores around town are trying to become a dealer for these cleaners they work so well. Buy it and your done for a brass cleaner, you couldnt pry mine away from me. thanks

Use for "recleaning" bore after initial application and cleaning w/ M-Pro 7 Gun Cleaner. You won't believe what comes out of the bore, even after initial heavy cleaning w/ Gun Cleaner. Stuff works great and I can use it inside of house due to no smell, rather than being banished to the garage.

I would clean them with rubbing alcohol . Either wipe them down or let them soak in a big pot with an alcohol / water solution . I would have a cup connected to the actual pump and pump up the water/ alcohol solution to clean the gun portion of it. Hope this helps :)

You can use the cleaner for the foam gun but you have to be very careful - anything that removes the foam will soften or remove the paint it is adhered to. I use a green plastic "scrubber" pad available in the grocery store and rub very carefully while softly cussing the issue.

Yes - clean it like a gun. The barrel needs lubrication. P.S. don't dry fire it. I accidentally did in my back yard and it sounded like a real gun fired, not to mention it's really not good on the compression seals. I love mine. Best powerful pellet gun ever - Not for minors though!!

Sorry I can't help you. I gave the case cleaner as a Christmas gift and all I know is that it apparently does a good job of cleaning partsfor my son's shooting gear.
