Who cleans BCGs in an ultrasonic cleaner?

I've cleaned my BCGs once after about 2000 rounds in an ultra sonic and it was really just to get to parts of the BCG I couldn't get to; gas key hole and so on. It did the job well. I did however have have my gas key screws come loose after it, but that really just boiled down to crappy staking. I'll just note I do clean my BCG after every practice session and SR match with Boretech. My bolts are nitride.

For my suppressors I clean them in my ultra sonic cleaner with simple green mixed in.

I filled a McDonald's cup with hoppes #9 and i take the bcg apart and drop all the parts in there overnight come back the next evening and wipe it all down with next to no carbon that needs scraping. If it's needed it's typically the back of the bolt on the tail.

Same with my 22lr suppressor and muzzle devices.

Haven't cleaned a "real" suppressor yet
