Thanks for making this video. I'm going to give it a go this week. One quick note - you probably want to wear gloves especially while handling the dirty water coming out of the bag; solubilized lead can easily go through your skin and into your bloodstream.
Agreed. Try plastic jars, like peanut butter ones, filled with your cleaning solution. The sound waves go right through and then you can just pull the container out and set aside for later use. And it has a sealable lid.
The zip lock bag idea is brilliant. I think I would want to take out the firing pin so that the channel cleans and doesn't trap moisture. I particularly like this ultrasonic cleaning idea to do the frame on my Sig 226 and Beretta 92 as those are far to complicated for me to attempt full disassembly.
I had the same thought; like that can’t possibly be good for your plumbing over a long period of time. Let alone the fact that you’re essentially dumping HAZWASTE down a drain.

Just a tip for getting air out of ziplock bags. Put the bag in water and push down lightly. Then Zip when the air is gone. The mouth of the bag does not go below the surface of the water. Old school method I used to use for preparing food for Sous Vide. ;-) Never heard of using simple green before. I’ll have to check in on that one before doing that. Good tip though for the bag method.
The same can be done, with the bolt (bolt) of an AR15. Why do you do it, with a bag? could it be done, sun bag ?. At what temperature? Greetings from Barcelona (Spain)
I sent this to a knowledgeable friend - he reports that Simple Green is harmful to aluminum parts. He uses Krud Cutter. Also, I use a lubricating liquid in the ultrasonic cleaner after the clean & rinse - this gets lubrication everywhere cleaner and water are. Thanks, Rick
@@appalachiandiy2415 Some guy says just use water, no or almost no, detergent ! Detergent can strip coatings/pain off ( so he says). I thought small amount of washing up liquid, not so abrasive just a good degreaser >
You need to remove the striker and spring and dry them out, including the cavity or rust will build up there. Best to just put everything in an oven at approx. 175 degrees for 20 minutes or so, unless the sights are made of plastic of course....
Could an ultrasonic harm the finish of an old gun like a luger p08? It has some corners which are impossible to clean with a brush so a ultrasonic could be the solution..
I didn't see any degradation to the plastic. I know that you can't put aluminum in because it will disintegrate. So far so good but I'll keep and eye on it
amzn.to/2ZJ13cs is this what you're talking about? I would stay away from synthetic solvents to clean with. I don't know what they would do to the polymer.
@@appalachiandiy2415 Most if not all firearms are made of nylon 6,6 and glass fiber. Only two solvents will affect nylon. Benzene and THF (partially). Their are no solvents you are going to buy from a store (or online) that contain these solvents. You have to buy them in chemical form. Benzene being really hard to acquire due to it's toxic nature to flesh. THF can be bought on amazon.
@@ctpistolclass1211 Im interested in why WD-40 is bad for gun parts. is there something in it that is bad for the metal parts or just bad for polymers and plastics? I personally don't use it, I usually use frog lube
Put all of the tiny components into a pantyhose and then tie the ends up - all the tiny little parts will get clean and not slip through the tray - it works
It will not hurt the polymer. just make sure to use a water-based solvent. ie simple green or dawn dish soap. Don't use harsh chemicals like auto solvents.
@@detroitpyro2859 i didnt take apart my lower. You could put the entire thing whole into the cleaner(will not clean as good of course). There sould be no problem with keeping the lower intact
Yes as long as your not using a harsh chemical to clean with as it will attack the plastic polymers. That's why I would recommend the Simple Green to clean.
What I see on several videos is people putting their parts in a ziplock bag. Thinking about it, I’d think the bag, although it has a cleaner in it, would slow down the vibrations of the machine, it would retard the vibrations…..wouldn’t it??
Fill up the machine with water turn it on and put your hand in it. don't be scary! Now fill up a zip lock bag and put it in the machine and put your hand in that. See if you can feel the difference... I cannot.
If you're talking about the canned gas sold to clean computer keyboards and such, It works, but the problem is getting enough "air" when you need it. If you keep dispensing, the can gets very cold and then you get very little "air". You can get enough if you have two cans and a bowl of warm water. When a can gets cold float it in the warm water, and then soon you can use it again. Do this a few times, and you'll be motivated to save money to buy a compressor.
This video did not require removal of grips. I have never done this but think it would be important to remove the grips prior to cleaning to get the water out later and get better cleaning in the action areas.
GREAT IDEA ON BAGS! NO TIME TO CLEAN YOUR FIREARM IMMEDIATELY AFTER FIRING? NO TIME TO SHOOT! CARRY GUNS CLEAN WEEKLY! UNFIRED GUNS CLEAN MONTHLY AFTER SHOOTING CLEAN THREE TIMES, works for the Military!
First I'm not sure I'd take advice from someone who cleans a firearm once a year and dosen't want to break it all the way down. Even if you use air you will still need to take it completely apart to make sure there's no water. Just my 2 Cents
This was a torture test for this firearm. I wanted to know if it was neglected that it would still fire. It passed. This was a simple field strip. I don't know many average firearm enthusiasts who will strip out the trigger for routine maintenance/cleaning. I've never had a problem with rusting the trigger components either, but your mileage may vary from mine. Thanks for the reply
Appalachian DIY I was thinking the same thing since you said it was your EDC. I’d strongly suggest separating EDC and torture test firearms. On the odd chance you have to defend your life, it’s not the time to be evaluating test results so to speak.
@@dylconnaway9976 I agree, however do you know of a better way to carry it around to get all the lint and grime onto it, also not having to carry a second EDC on your person for actual defense? if you have a better way to torture test I would love to hear it. Thanks!
@@appalachiandiy2415 So, not trying to be rude, but when I hear you say torture test, it's you not taking care of your LC9, and your excuse is 'I'm testing how long I can go without taking care of my LC9.' An EDC should be treated as life saving equipment. You wouldn't torture test a parachute by letting it rot in the rain before jumping with it, for instance. Off the top of my head, you could do a weekend torture test by soaking it in thick lube or grease, running a few hundred rounds, shake it in a bag with dryer lint, a little sand, ground up paper, then try shooting it to see how it functions. I still don't understand the point of testing how much you can neglect an EDC, but if I were to test it, that'd be how.
Consider degassing your ultrasonic solution first. I don't do the bag trick because of the need to degas the cleaning solution whenever I use new stuff. It is convenient to only make a bag-worth of solution, but I suggest making a full batch, using it, and draining it into a jug for later use. This will also let you decant off the settled particulates and properly dispose of the lead dust. You could also degas the solution in a bag, but it gets messy if you try to keep it and wasteful if you pitch it every time. I have the same brand of US as you I think, a cheap Chinese one, and I throw whole slides and frames in all the time as well as leaded up .22 cans. Simplest cleaning process ever. Compressed air + 140 degree oven (slightly hotter than a hot car in the summer) = stone dry steel ready for oil.
@UC6kAudXu3HcxYUx4X_WAEXQ microscopic bubbles absorb sound energy, disipating the energy (I.e. not letting the sound waves perform work). Degassing removes the small bubbles, letting the ultrasonic waves work harder.
@@appalachiandiy2415 Yes, frequency is important. I have projected many plants both for Italian and Us army here in Italy. The best frequency is 24 khz....the ultrasonic wave is much stronger at 24 khz frequency.
@@appalachiandiy2415 at 37 khz the ultrasonic wave "caresses" your weapon... At 24khz the ultrasonic wave "beats" your weapon. 24 khz is the best frequency to have a weapon perfectly cleaned.
Not sure why you would bother using distilled water. Yes it's purer but since you're going to fill the bag with 50% cleaner you are throwing away money
This is counterintuitive to the point of sillyness. Why wouldn't I take apart my slide and firing unit and clean each part with Hoppes 9, an old toothbrush/Qtips, and follow with a good gun oil and grease where necessary? It takes me maybe an hour if I'm lazy about it, and I do it every 6 months or so while watching a good comedy on tv. Your firing pin/striker and spring and possibly the striker block/spring was submerged in the slide IN a mix of somekind of water/windex solution for 30 minutes? And all you did was blow it out with air or a hair dryer? HELL YES it will rust!
@@appalachiandiy2415 lack of common sense I see. Some really dumb and overly confident people in this hobby. It’s a reason we have so many hours of gun accident vids we can be amazed by
After 50 rounds of steel my Taurus and Canik both look like this so I can attest this is possible to be this gross after 50 rounds. Also anything that’s been building up that couldn’t be freed would still be in there with the 50 rounds worth of grime.

Yes! saves a lot of clean up time

What is the benefit of distilled water versus tap water?
Tap water has a lot of minerals in it. distilled has most of them removed so they will not deposit onto whatever you are cleaning
Great tips guys thanks
how did the frame hold up in the long run ? my ec9s lower is grimy and could definitely benefit from this.
No problems so far
