AKLR308 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Does anyone out there have any DO or DO NOT DO advice for using my sonic cleaner on LR 308 parts? My concern is finished aluminum parts as the steel parts clean up well with no issues and save a lot of scrubbing and cussing. You have to be vigilant about getting everything rinsed and dried good before lubing. Thanks in advance for any replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I've one of the Hornady Magnum Sonic Cleaners. If the parts fit, they go in there! Being anally retentive, the parts are then rinsed in pure distilled water, and then that is blown out with air. Others say that they heat the parts to evaporate the water but I don't like using heat on heat-treated parts. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Diss Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I rinse mine with cold tap water, blow them off and then rinse them with WD-40. Blow that off, dry with a rag and oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRA Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 What I would do is after I pulled the parts out of the cleaner I would soak them in a solution of Simple Green and regular tap water (warm or hot water is preferred), then sub them a bit with a rag them blow them off with air after you rinse them again in regular tap water. Start all over again with your lube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
