is it safe to clean the plastic/polymer parts of pistols/rifles?

Yes, I have used on all parts for my Glock Pistols (3), AR-15 rifle, and AR-10 rifle. The solution that I use is the Hornady Lock n' Load Sonic Cleaner Solution that is specifically for gun parts.

As far as I know, yes. I usually use distilled water in mine. Work's great. Work's even better with the Hornady gun cleaning solution.

I use it on the metal pieces and polymer pieces. I make sure not to soak polymer pieces in it, but I have wiped down frames and plastic guide rods with this cleaner. After, I coat the guide rod with oil and wipe the polymer frame with a silicone cloth afterwards.

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.

If you need to remove small scratches in plastic then yes. This is what glider pilots use to clean the plastic around the cockpit.

Yes, Ultrasonic cleaners are great for handguns, dental/tattoo machines. Almost anything that is made of metal.

yes this is polymer. the part that connects to the gun is polymer too. that does need to be Dremeled out where the pin goes through. not much just enough for it to seat in all the way. rail is metal. and this stock is way better than the one that comes on it. im very happy with it! Hope this helps

My rifles came from Walmart shipped directly to my home. No cosmoline on either, just a very light coating of gun oil. Don't use copper brushes just a good stiff synthetic. Make sure you get all of the lubricant out of the tube. If not you are going to be surprised with the bang you will get. I did not clean my .177 as thoroughly as I should have and the first pellet sounded like a ma duce going off. Keep them all in the X ring. Semper Fi Molon Labe CHS USMCL

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.

I don't quite see why you would need to clean the air soft gun...you have no carbon buildup /powder residues. If you have an obstruction, you could probably just use a straitened wire clothes hangar

All guns should be cleaned from the chamber end when possible. You risk damaging the bore by cleaning from that end. The Wheeler tool is an excellent tool for the AR style rifle.

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!!

It's a gun cleaner, lubricant, and rust preventive all in one. Fantastic stuff,won't hurt polymer parts

Hornady makes a gun parts cleaner (black label) for their sonic cleaner II. Follow the instructions. It works great. Supposed to be ok for all types of finishes...(Mine is stainless). Cleanest my Kimber has ever been.

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.

It will clean gun parts, but it's not a huge basket. Also, be careful with what finish the gun part has. I put an older polished blued slide in with a random solution and it discolored it. Just be aware that this can happen. Overall it will work pretty well, though!

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.
