In this video, Eric attempts to clean our very dirty CMMG 22LR Conversion upper that has been running on the M16 lower to the tune of 5,000+ rounds with nothing more than some oil and the occasional wipe down with a rag. The Infante S30 is capable of cleaning a complete firearm in as little as 3 minutes, which is very impressive but what can it do to this little rig that is likey better off being laid to rest?

I find disassembly and manual cleaning is therapy for me. I'll stick to the manual process. :)
I agree.
Cracking a beer and cleaning the guns is soothing.
Same.
Right there with ya man.
Same.
For $5,300, I’ll keep doing it the old fashioned way.
Can you use dishwasher to clean the gun?
I am about done with this channel, blasting away more 9mm in one program than I have in my house. Yeah, buy a heated pressure washer, clean your guns and truck too!
@@alphapham2060 Yuck. Why? You clean your eating utensils and dishes in that dishwasher... You want to coat every surface inside it with lead residue? Lead ingestion is bad. We try to minimize our lead exposure as shooters and reloaders. No, do NOT clean your damn guns in the dishwasher.
@@doublel7337 You seem upset
@@alphapham2060 No. You don't want lead on your dishes.
"Average skankiness" was also my girlfriend's nickname in high-school
Skanker tanker was mine 😂
@@nokiot9 They're all Coin Operated. LOL
That was my high school garage band name 🤘🤘
Man, literally none of this was easier than cleaning by hand. And took about 3 times as long
Agreed. It's probably better if you had many but generally speaking it's not good for just 1 at a time.
Gotta get me some .50 cal cabinet handles
And it only costs $5,250. Definitely not for an average gun owner.
I’m sure it was free of cost for him :)
Literally would rather spend that on guns,ammo, and gear
$95/gallon for that lube solution that must be used at full strength!
I think this video is geared for firearm industy, etc... not Johnny homeowner
@@stefanmolnapor910 Johnny home owner is who 99 + % of his viewers are.
Back when i was a young boy, 7-8 years old is when i started deer hunting, and sense then i've always cleaned every gun, (The old fashioned way) after shooting them, maybe a day later at the most, but i use to sit there and clean mine and my fathers rifles, and i loved it time after time, but he would never let me even touch his pistols, until i was 16, im now 33 and i still clean them after every shoot, and pull them all out occasionally just to oil, and clean when im bored as well, i guess you just have to love doing it.
AMERICA STRONG
STAY FREE
LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC
That's super cool 👍 thanks for sharing this with us!👊
I’ve been cleaning guns for so long that it doesn’t take any real time. I’ve never seen an ultra sonic that actually got things clean. You always have to put a little elbow grease in to it.
Yeah exactly.
I ultrasonic clean brass cases and it works great. Even the primer pockets get clean. Not great on firearm components though. But mine didn’t cost $5250 like the S30 either.
@@stevennewman4778 Now that makes since.
LOL Elbow Grease hahaha
Have a 65 gallon “ultrasonic” at work where I build performance transmissions, amazing what it will do to a grimey case. Funny to see one here after I just ran one today!
Automotive spray gun full of lacquer thinner used to clean mine in two minutes. 90psi takes the grittyness out of any revolver trigger action too.
Im in the autobody field as well and I approve of lacquer thinner. Just can’t overdue it with the lacquer thinner or you can strip the finish off. I use it for everything that I can
@@vicdiaz5180 Does it uh, you know, let's just say my friend is wondering if - err, y'know it works as lube?
@@ether23-23 absolutely! the more the better...
@@ether23-23 Lacquer thinner is fantastic for lube if you're into S&M. Latex isn't good with toluene though so...it'll hurt both of you.
@@mannys9130 good to know, now just gotta tell my mechanic although he's in hospital b4 u told me this :D
Odorless mineral spirits I've been using for years. It's what Beretta uses at their factory.... I actually enjoyed cleaning my guns manually.
Just soak and then oil?
Same here. Buy mine in gallon size at Lowe's. Low Order Mineral Spirits works just fine and it's WAYYYY cheaper than gun solvents.
Thanks for the share Eric
And at the moment, this thing is $5,250
"Be careful"
"Watch out for....."
"Take care to not...."
Never had to watch out for an old toothbrush 👍
Maybe if you put that toothbrush in the ultrasonic then you'd really have to watch out.
Yes. AK says hose only.
Beat me to it.😄👍
😄
I smell a deal, we give you the cleaner and you give us the exposure. Doesn't seem practical for us normal gun owners.
You don’t say lol idk what gun owner would buy that instead of buying more guns and ammo
Lmfao just Google his name bro. 🤣
This channel isn't for you and I. IV8888 is for him and his. But I don't blame him. This world and especially the internet is dog eat dog. Every man for themselves
Edit: I believe the degenerate rapper Lil Wayne said it himself. "Go and get your $ little duffle bag boy"
I would take a wild guess and say people other than non firearm industry civilians watch these videos.
Of course there was a deal, but it's still interesting and applicable.
A can of rem oil $7 ultrasonic clear $1000+
For the price, I’ll stick to my Brake Cleaner, Old military cleaning brush, air compressor and a wee bit of elbow grease... the Brake Cleaner and compressed air will clean a fairly skanky rifle in about 2 minutes. Soak really skanky parts in ATF (automatic transmission fluid) The rest is a few more minutes of elbow grease with a brush and ATF or CLP. Done! I believe the cost difference will help fill MANY ammo cans!
HF has cheap ones you can put a bolt and small parts, excellent tool
@@joelopezjl28 I have the $80 HF cleaner and use it with aircraft grade Simple Green. Works very well
atf is not touching my guns!(the organization not the cleaning stuff your talking abou)
Could you do a comparison video of the Infante system to a cheap ultrasonic cleaner off of Amazon? I picked up a 6L heater US cleaner for doing motorcycle carburetors and other small parts (I do a lot of machine restoration) and it works great for that. Curious if a cheap cleaner would work for pistols and AR lowers using Infante solutions. I use Simple Green Industrial (the purple stuff, safe for aluminum) in my cleaner. Thanks!
Love the bullet drawer pulls. We use deer antlers. Looks like a nice work space.
when that hammer fell onto the receiver,
I felt that lol
7:57 😬😬😬 Mah hart, mah soul.
@10:25......I love those cabinet door handles!!!!!!!!😍✌👍
Makes me think of the 55 gallon drums cut in half with some purplish 'cleaning' solution put in them we used in the Army. Especially useful for cleaning an M-60.
Heard of brake parts cleaner spray? Carb cleaner is great, also. It is made specifically to spray away CARBON❤
Really cool video guys!! How much does an ultrasonic cleaner this size run?
I would like to see plastic baskets to reduce wear on finishes. Also you can put really dirty parts in a Ziploc of cleaning fluid and drop that in the ultrasonic. Keeps your tank cleaner.
I have a buddy that cleans jewelry like that it seems to work better that way too.
Plastic baskets dampen sound waves, and don’t last long. Stainless is way more durable and when the parts are properly placed in the basket using our process there is no finish wear.
Very little beats dawn dish soap, but dry well afterwards
indeed. also kills fleas on contact.
This is interesting. Would be great for a gun rental range or pro competitive shooter.
To think I used Tide detergent on the stove with a slow boil for 5 minutes, then rinsed under hot water faucet. Heat of metal dried off parts then oiled and reassembled.
Bet you could build one from a couple of ultrasonic humidifier parts.
I do use a $80 Harbor Freight ultrasonic cleaner for small parts. Does work really well.
Of course, for $20 an hour, you could hire someone for 250 hours to clean your firearms to match the $5,000 purchase price of the ultrasonic cleaner. Granted, if you had to supply the cleaning supplies or libations for the cleaner, that might drop a few hours off that :) But the stories to be told around the cleaning bench? Priceless!
Good for businesses and military and training services. Otherwise not even particularly useful for a heavy 3 gun shooter. In fact I shoot events with slightly dirty guns. I clean them and sometimes go 2 or even 3 range sessions before shooting an event, (depending on the guns of course).
It seems very expensive for what it accomplished. If you owned a gun rental range and had to clean twenty guns a day then it might be worth it. I can clean my guns way faster and easier than that
I can definitely see the advantages of this for internal parts that are some forms of steel Bolts, BCGs, firing pins, or triggers from AR15s maybe even barrels but upper/lower receivers, handguards, and most other parts especially if I care about the finishes on them I'd be a little nervous to drop them in an ultrasonic cleaner... But if they say it's safe to do its probably ok if like you said you're checking them throughout the process... it's not for me but it is a cool product...
Yeah I’d be even more afraid to pack the basket full of stuff. The last thing I’d want is 2 pieces like my upper and lower rubbing on each other 10,000 times a second, I almost guarantee it doesn’t take 5 mins to rub your finish off that way.
@@Evergreen1400 I didn't even think about that but I agree...
Id be interested in a video about different finishes, nitride, parkerized, and others. But im a nerd. Not sure if enough people would be interested.
We really need a tour of that reloading room!
That's more work than cleaning manually. I'll stick with a little elbow grease.
heeyyyy
!! ERIC, use push to lock couplers on the ball valves then make a PTL couplered bit of hose to make draining a breeze !!
(3/4"npt Male to Coupler - qnt: 3 or 4 , 3/4"fem to 1" or 3/4 barb, length of hose to suit)
Very cool Eric I only have a 9mm handgun and a 12 gauge shotgun I clean my pistol pretty fast by hand this would be cool to try on it to get deep in 😳
I think I'll keep my El cheapo non chlorinated brake part\ carb and choke cleaner, bronze brush, and hot water rinse, followed by compressed air drying, and motorkote lubrication regime, but thank you for the offer.
I'm a poor, and I don't like to feel like I'm cooking when I'm cleaning my gun lol.
Subtle flex with that post sample 🤣😂
Cabinet handles are sweet.
I love how your full auto lower has been an Anderson all along
It's almost like lowers make absolutely no difference in a build as long as it's made to proper spec
Cleaning smokeless should be easy....
Would be interesting to see a muzzelloader in that fancy device though
works very good
The New way of Cleaning 😊
Do you have to worry about the grease in the buffer tube? You'd figure cleaning solution would get in there too. I wonder what kind of wear occurs over time if you don't reapply grease inside the buffer tube after this method of cleaning.
We are not aware of grease being used in a buffer tube, oil should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s manual. The buffer tube can be hand lubed after the process.
Ultrasonic is the bomb. As long as you do Parts individually and not entire Firearms or assemblies. Echo
Cleaning by hand is the bomb too and doesn’t cost $5000
I wonder if ultra sonics can vibrate screws loose?
Please consider reviewing the new Gun Cameras. Thanks.
23 Seconds in and this already feels like a commercial
I need one!
Of course. Drink 4 cans of beer in 3 minutes. Wait 1. Then piss in the thing while working the bolt.
Love the concept .. But u shoot a gun u clean a gun is what i know and love
Thats not the same ultrasonic I watched you use her before! Is this a better one?
10:30 i hate when my charging handle gets sploodge on it 😂
I have an ultrasonic cleaner, but I stopped using it because it was better at stripping the finish off my guns than actually cleaning them. (Somehow after an hour it still wasn't clean with max temp) I use it now for cleaning off resin 3d prints. Also, I don't think it comes off in the video how annoying the sound is. I have to keep it in the garage while operating it and I can still hear that high pitched buzzing noise. It's perfect for driving the next door neighbor's cats and dogs insane.
I’m sure it’s not one of our ultrasonic cleaning systems which have a special process that eliminates finish wear. The process includes specific chemistry, time duration and temperature. Our systems are sound insulated and are not annoying during use.
I'm ordering one today......said no one on here.
Hot distilled water and ballistol will absolutely wreck carbon deposits without destroying your finish. Works wonders on black powder firearms, especially those with tiny primer nipples and crevices that are a chore to manually clean. The key is to use distilled water so there's not a layer of corrosive salt left behind when it evaporates.
We have tried ballistol with water and it does not work as well as the Sonic Tonic cleaning solution. Distilled water while not required is recommended.
@@InfanteUltrasonicscoming in months later to respond lol.
Glad to hear it's not required, does make the cleaning process a bit cheaper to be able to use tap.
Do a galil meltdown
Yes and the grau
How about an sks covered in cosmoline?
Mineral Spirits
We used to set up at Knob Creek removing cosmoline, it works great!
Use breakcleaner, is cheap and works very good
Can you clean revolvers in there too please reply??
Yes. Take the grip off, open the cylinder, cock the hammer back and keep the ejector open.
Expensive machine. I wonder how it works cleaning brass for reloading.
They cleam brass very well. Just have to use the proper solvent.
Works very well on brass with the primers removed.
Gun-cleaning container!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice. I can't do it that way because all my epic spray paint would come off :D
I need that to clean the cosmoline off my PPSH parts kit
Hot water with simple green and a toothbrush is all you need, but if you want to spend $5000, don't let me stop you. Lol
@@l3ch yeah I boil some water with alittle simple green I have a pot just for cosmoline removal toothbrush too
Really hot tap water and dish soap cleans them very well, blow it out with an air compressor then oil it.
hey erik. your audio has been peaking for like 10 videos now. alot probably dont notice it depending on what speakers they use.
Well now that was an interesting video and I don't think considering the extreme cost Factor to get all that set up plus the space it takes up no thank you.
CLR in a jar is what I use for years of suppressor build up and then the carbon literally wipes off with a paper towel. Obviously it can't be used on everything, but neither can ultra sonics. I don't use my ultra sonic cleaner much after discovering CLR
For silencer cleaning, nothing beats peracetic acid. "The Dip" is 50/50 vinegar and 3% hydrogen peroxide. It dissolves lead and carbon build up. It's nasty stuff when new because it'll burn you chemically, and it's even nastier stuff after being used because it'll still burn you but it also contains lead acetate which is water soluble lead and poisonous. It takes some caution to use properly, but it works like nothing else can. I've used it to clean up stainless revolver cylinders that had serious leading of the throats. Works much better than 30 minutes fooling around with a bore brush chucked in a cordless drill. 😎
@@mannys9130 3% or 30%? 3% is the peroxide available everywhere. Are you referring to that or a stronger type and harder to find?
WD-40, a brass bristled brush. & lots of shop towels. Works great. Course I don't let my guns get that dirty. 500 rnds, & clean 'em. & $5,000.00 will buy a lot of WD-40, & shop towels. A LOT!!!
WD-40 really attracts dirt and isn't a very good lubricant... it's great at penitrating gunk, but try some Mobil 1 for an inexpensive lube
I never let my guns get that much build up. No matter what type of firearm it is, its gets cleaned after every shooting session. Sounds excessive, but its better to have a gun in top notch shape, than to risk jams when you need reliability.
I only clean certain parts of firearms after shooting, unless the whole firearm needs it, and for the past year, unfortunately they haven't needed it😢
You are pushing this hard I’m glad you obviously got one for free. Now for everyone else eBay has cheap ultra sonic cleaners in tons of sizes and you can just use parts cleaner your welcome take care y’all
now that's what i call love for your guns i can't even afford a hot tub for myself. I would imagine people that love their guns that much and can't afford a hot tub for them probably bathe with their guns hum that don't sound half bad may try that tonight.
I was thinking about this a while back... seeing it in action... naaaaaah lol rather stick to the old way.
Wonder how it will work on a 22 lr can.
It works very well on .22 suppressors that can be disassembled. It is recommended to ultrasonic clean the suppressor every 200-250 rounds to avoid layers of buildup over time.
Oh look it’s ANOTHER ultrasonic cleaner video
Would it pass Armsroom inspection?
Yes, we have systems in many government installations that are used to maintain their firearms and passing inspections.
I love having my hands on my guns and that gives me all the time i need to clean them very well and thin oil them all up.......
My cmmg conversion is FILTHY also... id love to use one of those. Id never buy one though.
Warm mineral spirits cleans up just about anything
Problem I've run across using parts washers and ultrasonic cleaners is the disposal of the soiled fluid/solvent/lube mixture. I don't have municipal sewage. Only a few disposable facilities will accept the fluid and for those who depend on well water know anything you pour out on the ground eventually ends up in your drinking water. I've gone back to the Scott Rags in Box and clean my tools without creating gallons of liquid I can't get rid of.
Our Sonic Tonic and Sonic Lube are both non-hazardous, eco-friendly, bio-degradable and prop 65 compliant. The issue is not with the cleaner or the lubricant but the debris that come off the firearm. You can either follow local ordinances for pouring the debris down the drain or the best method we find is to pour the dirty cleaning solution into a large 10+ gallon container and let the water evaporate out of it. You are then left with the firearm debris sludge which will take a long time to fill the container up. At some point you can have the container picked up by a waste management company, but it would take you years to accumulate.
Where does all the lead contaminated water go? And the used chemicals?
Pour it over your neighbour’s fence ?

I love you guy’s channel and appreciate the quality of the nicer products, but what about more affordable products? I mean come on, $5,000 for something just to clean guns?
Chrome plating seems to be the trick according to inrange
can you put optics in there?
No you can not.
Ok so high quality quick detach mounts are a must. Probably a good idea anyway
No
*insert way too serious answer here
dont even think about that dude, you would destroy the optics. or at the very least the warranty would be voided, man I dont even want to think about what would happen to the glass
I usually run mine for 15 mins and that does the trick.
That's great XD
I prefer to git hands on and clean it myself using a kit. this is pretty cool tho
Shooters with black powder have an ancient recipe - boiling water and a little detergent. Is free. And quickly. : -)
How does ballistol clean and lube because I thought there no product that can do both ?
I would say that no product can both clean and lube WELL. Just a cleaner will do a better job at cleaning, just a lube would do a better job of lubrications. A CLP is a comprise for being simpler to use, and less chance of rusting with using a true cleaner.
I actually have gone away with using CLP for this very reason. I currently run a Motor oil/red synthetic grease mix for lube, and 91% isopropyl alcohol as a cleaner. I’m having great results so far.
@@ShopRat295 I just never understand why people use both when I’ve seen people use ballistol and it works fine , like hickock
@@Beardman56 how do you even get copper and lead in your gun ?
@@Beardman56 I’d 2nd that I clean my guns every time I’m done shooting and clp works great for me but I could definitely imagine you’d want to use a straight cleaner if going 1k+ rounds between cleaning
I haven't seen a new LLP episode for over a month man. What's goin on?
Great video ! For The one gun you deep deep clean , such a process to do . Also not sure deep cleaning with chemicals that could take off my paint . Didn’t hear you mention Cherokee or anything . This feels like s promotional video. Please do some science behind this cleaning . Thank you. A race would be a cool video . Between the machine and by hand !
I think we are going to see more and more videos like this from GunTubers because TH-cam is demonetizing them.
Care must be taken when cleaning parts with special finishes. For anodized, painted, powder coated, antique or special finished parts, use a 2-3-minute cleaning time. This gun cleaning technology has been around for 30+ years and is being used by many of our government agencies, most armed forces and firearm manufacturers.
Splooge on your charging handle…I can see that you’re a man of culture as well ;)
I wouldn't be putting my grip handle in there. Especially not in the oil bath side.
Wood grips are removed and it’s safe for plastic, polymer and rubber.
Someone needs to invent an ultrasonic cleaner large enough to handle a 16" upper, yet be $299, or less.
Is this late night tv??
Swarms of 22s!!!
🖖🏻🇫🇷😎🇫🇷😎🇫🇷🖖🏻
Wow like new
How’bout I dunk mah parts onto 5 gallon bucket of soapy water in front of mah stereo speakers blaring some BLS “Doom Crew” for 3-ish minutes of “Odin Force Brutality Cleaning”?
🤣
I used to tell people That I would clean every Glock in a sink .. They thought I was nuts ... It's basically just soap and the water..
And clp if ya wanta
Dawn soap and warm water work fairly well! Usually once a year I'll "deep clean" my Glocks with hoppes, simple green, and dawn soap. It makes them ridiculously clean lol You just gotta be careful and maybe use a bit of oil because rust will set in on some parts if not thoroughly dried :)
Anyone can clean a gun in 5 minutes! All you need is a little know-how, some elbow grease, and a $5000 piece of equipment.
I’m sure they probably have about 50 guns that need cleaning when they need clean. I would definitely invest in a machine if I was shooting as much as they do.
I like rem oil $7 a can
