They still work fine right? So they used 3N1 oil wd40 motor oil ect. We don't need to reinvent the wheel. round wheels are fine

They didn't boil them in ultrasonic cleaners either. My personal opinion is that some people take gun cleaning to extremes. KISS

I'm with ya guys, if Dad came back from the grave and walked in on me humped over a workbench, heating a 1911 with a hairdryer and smearing spearmint smelling goo on with a toothbrush, I can imagine his face.

He would say "puppy, give me the singer sewing machine oil and throw that foo foo in the garbage" then if I told him what I paid he would grab his chest.....

Like I said......Mobil 1 and Lubriplate
Take it apart, wipe it down, brush the barrel grooves, pull a rag through, grease/oil as needed, re-assemble, utilize.
Inspect parts for wear/cracks/chips during process, ya gotta look at 'em anyway.

I have to admit that I am thinking about an ultrasonic cleaner for real detail cleaning. Intrigued is a better word.

OTOH, Froggy lube keeps wifey happy. Smells good and if you aren't using her oven to "cure" your guns, she don't care!

Interesting, and I'll be up in Delray this week. I suspect Caryn and Caryle will be using it for jewelry, Joseph and Seth will come up with several boy things they need it for and I'll never see it once I get it home.

Get a small one off eBay for jewelry, about $25 I think I paid. Works GREAT for eyeglasses with about a tsp of Mr. Clean or other all purpose cleaner. Brownell's has gun cleaning solution by the gallon.

Don't think I would want to put my jewelry in the same unit used for cleaning guns... Yuk
