sorry to keep hijacking the thread with questions. it would be nice to have a little C&R section on here.
Anyway. Got my Hi Power. Seems to be in excellent shape though I must be the only one who has ever disassembled it farther than the field strip. I swear, the black gunk I got out of the hole for the internal extractor was reverting to crude oil.
I didnt mind spending 3 hours stripping and cleaning it, but if Im going to be collecting milsurp regularly now, there has got to be a better way. I used enough cotton patches to make a sweater.
Can you use an ultrasonic cleaner on these old gun parts? Im worried that it would just rust the hell out of it though.
For those also starting out getting these types of old guns, this guy has a lot of good videos on complete disassembly. Made it really easy to learn how to get the Hi Power apart
