Hey there, all.
I just watched an old (emphasis on old) AGI video on the Ruger 10/22. Some bit into the video, the speaker details how he cleans the parts. Granted, he has every single piece taken apart and laying in front of him, so some of what he does wouldn't be feasible in a simple cleaning situation. But he uses Simple Green - which at the time of the video was less readily available, as he suggests finding it at parts stores and such.
Anyway, he spray soaks every part with Simple Green, lets it soak for a minute or two, then scrubs maybe a few times on each piece, the drops them in a small bucket filled with rinse water. Shakes up the bucket, swishes each part around a bit to rinse, then removes them and lays them on a towel. Dries them off, spray soaks them with break free. Uses a paper towel to wipe off excess oil, and voila. Ready for reassembly.
Has anyone else ever heard of this? Using simple green to clean your gun, I mean. From what I could see in the video, it did work really well. As the speaker said, all the gunk just fell right off the parts, with little to no scrubbing.
Opinions? Thoughts?
