How long do I soak my new kimber?

[HODGIE 3]

I'm pretty sure Bob Dunlap cleans all of his firearms in warm water(parts sprayed first with Simple Green). Mind you, they are COMPLETELY disassembled, air dried, and re-lubed.

 

Of course...I could be wrong

 

You are correct, I have been doing it this very way for years and even use the same mixture in my ultrasonic when

running parts through for a few cycles on hot.

Ok guys hope I'm posting this in the right section( I'm new here). I just bought a brand new Kimber ultra CDP 2 in .45 acp. After buying the gun,range bag, and some ammo I didn't have much money left so I decided to forgo buying a cleaning kit for $60.Anywho I took this little doll out for a test ride today and got her a little filthy running some cheap ammo through her. So since I didn't have a cleaning kit when I got home I placed it in the tub with hot water and a little bit of ammonia (mr. Clean if that matters). Now what I'm wondering is how long I should let it soak? It's been several hours and it still looks dirty. I was thinking maybe overnight but I didnt know if that would be too long. Thanks

But USNMARS, you didn't answer the OP's question, how long does he leave it for in the tub with mr clean? Hours?

 

Until Mr Clean gets a woody, duh!!!

 

But seriously, you can get firearm cleaning supplies pretty cheap at Walmart, and if u need help w how to, let me know.

Butter it up once it is good and dry. I prefer hotel bar butter, but any brand will work well.

And for Heaven's Sake use the UNSALTED kind.

I don't know why everyone has their panties in a wad, I took it out and dried it after like 8 hours. This thing is clean as a whistle.

If this is a legitimate new shooter...do we really want him/her to be anywhere near a firearm in the future? Seriously? We would essentially be schooling an idiot.

 

What did he do with the "clips" he didnt mention those!!

[Clintoon Eastwood 2]

He said 8 hours later soaking with mr clean and its clean as a whistle..... great Success!!!!

 

Do you happen to work at a toilet store?

After 8 hours in ammonia I'd suggest another 12 hour soak in oil to re-saturate the metal again. Ammonia is a great degreaser and will strip any and all oils out of the metal.

Don't forget to bake dry@ 350 for 2 hours!

Don't forget to take the bullets out.

What about PopRocks and Diet Caffeine Free Coke? I heard that the PopRocks help push the bullets out faster once the gun is clean with the coke.

Polymers are only top rack safe in the dishwasher. Please keep them out of the bottom rack. Make sure to use a quality rinse agent.
