Anyone know of a solvent or cleaner that I can use in an ultrasonic cleaner? Has anyone tried this method before with good results? I figure it would work pretty well cleaning slides and bolts since they arent normally completely disassembled..

Re: Ultrasonic Cleaner Solvent
I use big table spoon of citric acid (foodstuff additive in granules) and drop of jar and a small table spoon of salt in half a liter of water. It doesn't smell as bad as vinegar and it cleans very well (even the necks). I use the same recipe for "spring" rifle cleaning before using wipeout for copper removal (i did this to prep the barrel for hBN coating).

Yea, I thought about just using denatured alcohol and a few drops of dish soap, but am worried about rust flashing over rapidly..

I knew of a guy who swore PERC was the only thing to use.
Outdoors, of course.

Re: Ultrasonic Cleaner Solvent
I am trying to clean my M4-2000 supressor from my m16 right now. I have tried the mineral spirits and transmission fluid (3/1mix) and it cleans the bolt great but the supressor still has large hard deposits built up on the first baffle. I left a message at advanced armament but did not get a return call. Do you guys have a recomendation on what to use in a ultrasonic cleaner for this?
