MG42 Cleaning

Has anyone ever considered using a long parts washing vat to clean their 42? The inside of the barrel shroud and frame are so hard to reach. If there was a sonic cleaner long enough to get the whole thing in it would be great. I want to clean it well and believe there must be an easier method. Pleas...
