Walmart Brake Cleaner!

Sorry, I just had to correct the title

He probably needs to clean off the mess of cosmoline from them. Not and inside job though. And if its as cold around Dayton as here in Cleveland brake cleaner is a b!tch on your hands at 10 degrees F. I guess if you wanted to make the wife happy you could do them in the dishwasher!! She'd get a new one that way.

I am talking normal shooting range accumulations of bits of brass, small amounts of grit deposited by walking across ground cover, lubricating oil residue, grass and probably some others I have missed mentioning............We occasionally shoot in a strip mine area that creates all kinds of particles, almost like a coating of sand, regardless of ground covers in place. Shooters must occasionally walk off the cover and back on........

For inside You could use a deep storage tub and some Simple Green. Not nasty petroleum smelling. Works well.

I was going to say a plastic 5 gallon bucket and simple green as well. Good stuff. Might spray them down with carburator cleaner beforehand to loosen up the gunk, but I doubt it would be necessary.

Try soaking them in fuel oil first ( overnight and outside ) and than Simple Green. FWIW. Harry.
