craigyboy Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 after about 800 rounds i think when I get my moderator back with my rifle ill give it a good dunging out, its a small stainless pes model, it does seem strippable as there is a knurled cap on the bottom but it is tight as a mother f@#ker and I know ill only damage it if I manage to get it apart, I have put rimmie mods in the ultrasonic cleaner before but just with water and a bit of soap, anyone got any good concoctions for a mod that doesnt strip, will it even clean it up well?

Jager SA Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hmm, Ultrasonic cleaners for moddys, how do you know what bit will fall off? Dirt, carbon, gunge yep, but what about moddy integrity? Im just throwing this in as ultrasonics are something else. Im just thinking of possible unsound structure/material becoming weakened by the use of the above, or I be thinking way off base. Anyone else?

craigyboy Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 its never done any harm to my brass, you have never seen clean brass until you tryed an ultrasonic, no more scraping primer pockets, even the inside of the brass is gleaming. Just wondering of anyone uses it for cleaning mods and what solutions they use, I use 50% viniger 50% water for brass it would probably do ok for the mod too it just takes something to neutrilize the viniger.

Good idea really never thought of it. It would just be in the back of my mind what else is being ultrasonict that wasnt meant to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian from JMS was showing me a PES mod that he had put in an ultrasonic cleaner and it literally came up like new . I don't know what solution he used but I will try to find out.

ejg223 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Craigy neutralize with soapy water, then rinse with water. I always clean my mods in the ultra sonic cleaner. The ones we have at work are big enough to easily take the atec. We also have very strong cleaning agents that are added to the water, heated to 80-90 deg C. Can't use these agents on the aluminium mods as they get destroyed. Just use hot soapy water for the a-tec. After drying I flush with wd40. If your mod is stainless you won't have any problems. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigyboy Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 thanks ejg223 i thought it would be ok, just wanted to see if anyone else has done it before, ulrasonic cleaners are bloody great, I am running around cleaning everything in sight. As you mention my moddy is good old stainless so I dont have to worry so much. Do you clean cases with yours ejg223? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I do, mainly to degrease the cases and as a final cleaning. Then flush with hot water and throw them in a drying oven. I must try the vinegar trick. The solutions we have for the ultrasonic cleaner are mainly to remove greases and oils from a lapping process. Your welcome to try some. (for the mod) Too much of the solution (tickopur tr13) and the brass turns purple. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
