Assuming the orientation of the barrel to be flat in the bath You misunderstand me. I used to use 1,1,1, Trichloroethane to clean stuff in an ultrasonic bath when I was an apprentice. Before a) it was banned or b) airsoft was invented. Also - you really shouldn't used Trich in an ultrasonic cleaner, it's flashpoint is really quite low!

Pseudotectonic Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I just had a random thought You know those Teflon non-stick coating on saucepans and stuff What if we apply this to the inner barrel so it is less prone to dirt sticking on the inside surface thus making it "self cleaning" in normal use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
