And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

This looks like an interesting little tool. I can think of lots of stuff I could clean with it.
A dab of Dawn dish washing detergent, some Lemi-shine, and hot water a sonic cleaner will cleanup brass to give it a bright shine. I used one for years until it broke and I never replaced it. I am back to my old vibratory cleaner using corn cob media.
I like my tumbler with stainless steel pins. Pain in the neck to get the pins from out of the cases but 99% of the time the primer pockets are clean and shiny also.
I've thought about getting one of those for a while, but never got around to it. I want to hang my O/U barrels so that the breach section is in the bath to clean the extractors/ejectors. Figured that would be easier than searching for lost springs and things from taking them apart...........
I used to shoot 5k to 6k 12ga a year in multiple trap leagues. I went to northern supply and bought a parts cleaning tank with pump. It holds around 10 gallons of REAL solvent. I would just drop the barrels in the solvent, hold the stock and swish the lock end in the solvent viola. Except for my Mitsui SKB with a Dan Hanson stock. Of course.
I have a Lyman ultra sonic cleaner. It works great for cleaning brass inside and out with a little citric acid (dish washing detergent or canning citric acid). I still use a vibratory cleaner with untreated walnut shells to dry the cases out.
The sonic works with parts and smokeless powder loaded cases. I use a lot of black powder in my Sharps, double barrel,lever action carbine and handguns from fooling around with Cowboy action. I'll stick with a tumbler for those.

ReplyDeleteOne of my shooting buddies has that. I tried it in my work shop and was not impressed.
ReplyDeleteI use stainless media with dish soap and Lemishine. As another commenter mentioned even the primer pockets come out nice and clean.
For separation of brass and media I use one of these:

I use a wet sifter to rotate the S.S. pins out of my cases. Never found one left in any of them. Cleanest brass I have ever seen.
