I have the Frankford Arsenal wet tumbler that I use to clean my brass. It uses the stainless steel pins. It's worked great for the past couple of years but I've noticed that on occasion, the brass doesn't have that shine like it used to when it comes out of the tumbler.
I'm not sure if this tumbler's quality is inconsistent or if that batch of brass was extra dirty or if the stainless steel media itself needs to be cleaned (which is what I'm guessing)? Can all of you tell me about your experience?
Do the steel pins need to be cleaned? Ever? If so, how do all of you clean the media itself? I've come up with very few useful things in my pathetic Google search.
Or maybe the rotary barrel itself needs to be cleaned on the inside? I appreciate any thoughts from all of you.
