That will show up in the classifieds as a gently used safe queen.

This is one time you don’t want to see “cleaned after every range visit” in the ad.

 

[not new guy]

Wait, is that not how you do it? A shotgun doesn’t exactly fit in the dishwasher like handguns do.

 

[vcman]

Wow, that poor shotgun gona die from rust

 

[Dench]

I cleaned a MK.19 in the shower once. It was that dirty and I was that fed up with it

? why? if it gets wet - just dry it out with air, it can get wet, it can get dropped into the water, it is not expected to just dissolve like a witch of the west.

I will never do that to any of my tools or guns, ever.

 

[robjax]

I don’t use that much water washing a car.

 

[FrankNA]

To think, I've been doing it wrong all these years....

guns are just tools, they can handle occasional abuse. and if shotty or rifle got no wooden parts at all, well, then it is really not that dramatic at all.

 

[LuvDog]

Odd but still if he dries it out. Oils it properly. It could be ok.

I have thrown my black powder parts in the dish washer. Squeaky clean fun 1/2 hour later

 

[Agnotology]

I used to do that till I got my industrial ultrasonic. Now I just purple power that shit and let her air dry, good as new.

Ha. I jes' pour gasoline down my M4's barrel and shake. Turn her upside down to drain. Done. Easy Peasy

ar15s can handle quite a bit, but to wash a gentle regular shotgun in benzine or acetone is a bit brutal.
maf sensor cleaner or a brake parts cleaner also works fast.

 

[tinhorn]

How else do you get all the mud off?

I've done similar. After you've smoothed the guts of a single action revolver frame, there is metal dust EVERYfrickinwhere. I slather the hell out of them with rubbing alcohol, then drench them in running hot water (water heater at 150 degrees). That's hot enough to evaporate the water before oiling the bore, coating the guts with synthetic red grease, and waxing the exterior. Yeah, I was nervous about the process the first couple times I tried it.

Never thought to use the dishwasher. Only used it for car parts from time to time.

Dude probably cleaned his teeth the same way

Back when I owned a Mosin after a range trip id pour a couple bottles of tap water on the bolt, chamber and down the barrel. Come home, pour boiling water on the bolt and down the barrel before cleaning it normally. Russians love to salt their ammo.

Thought you didnt wash your cars

This. Id use water and ballistol or use some muzzleloader cleaner. Water based. Then hit it with hoppes 9.

Exactly.

Do they take off finishes? Brake cleaner seems to remove automotive paint very well.

 

[Spanz]

don't let Tim Walz see that gun cleaning video!

 

[ridleyman]

Can't I just shower with it? And what kind of shampoo and conditioner would be appropriate?

 

[JDL]

Isn't that the reason they invented WD40?

 

[Dadstoys]

Only reason I cold imagine that is if it got dropped in salt water.

 

[mac1911]

Little WD40 and it will be fine.

I spent many raining days plinking while camping. f*** sitting in the tent.!
