Anyone else use the Cylinder & Slide Dunk it kits?

[odyssey1]

I've always been trained to clean my guns after every range session, which I do.  I remember my father with his Hopps #9 with the toothbrushes and patches, watching TV and just cleaning away after we went shooting. 

I had work done on one of my Pythons over 10 years ago and on it's return trip home I purchased a dunk it kit.  I'm on my 4th one now and I'm very pleased with them.  After my range seesions, I simply field strip my guns, take off the grips, and spray some foam bore cleaner in the barrels and let them sit.  I'll them brush them out, spray all exposed dirt and debris with non-chlorinated brake cleaner, and just drop them in the dunk it kit for about 20 minutes.  After the first dunking, I'll take them out, brush them with a toothbrush, and then dunk them back in for another 10.  After that, I give them a blast with the compressor, add a little grease to the rails and I'm all done.

Last night I cleaned 6 guns in an hour.  I can go wipe them all with a white cloth with no signs of powder anywhere.  The only extra rubbing I did was on the cylinder faces of my revolvers but that came off with a few swipes of lead remover cloth.

Just wanted to share some of my cleaning practices with all of you.

Cylinder & Slide is a good outfit, and I've heard about these "Dunk It" kits. They even have one for Polymer pistols like Glock and the like. Never tried it myself, but sounds like the cats behind for the AK-47 if they made a larger one. Anything that makes a gun easier to clean, I'm all for! People have this thing about "getting guns wet". I have a small automotive type parts washer I use strictly for gun cleaning. It works great. I was even thinking about buying one of those "Dunk It" kits, and using the fluid in my washer. As they say, "DILUTION IS THE SOLUTION TO POLLUTION!"       Bill T.

I have one of those dunk-kits too. I like it. I leave gun parts in it to soak overnight. They're practically clean before I do anything. It works good on ar bolt carriers too. It softens the carbon so it comes out easy.
