gunrunner joe #17093 4 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 What do you used in your sonic cleaner to clean fire arms and what mixture ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shooting Bull 2,047 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 The most frequent solution I've ever heard of is some witches brew called Ed's Red. I've never tried it but it's sure gotten raving reviews. http://handloads.com/articles/default.asp?id=9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Buck D. Law, SASS #62183 334 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 The most frequent solution I've ever heard of is some witches brew called Ed's Red. I've never tried it but it's sure gotten raving reviews. http://handloads.com/articles/default.asp?id=9 I used this ONCE in a sonic cleaner and the fumes nearly got the better of me. The sonic cleaner rapidly evaporates the the ingredients other than the transmission fluid. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING IT IN A SONIC CLEANER. With that said I've tried a number of home solutions but finally broke down and bought L & R Gun Cleaning Solution and it does an outstanding job. It's expensive, but like Tootsie Roll it "lasts a long time." I did manage to pick up a trick from the Ed's Red as I used automatic transmission fluid as my lubricant. I have two sonic cleaners, one with cleaner and the other with lubricant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lost Trail 115 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I've used a 50-50 mix of water and Simple Green. Seemed to work quite well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
