Any advise?
You should pick up info on 2/18 and 8/13/07 in 'experts' and 9/28 in gen'l discussion.
They can get tough to clean parts clean, and clean brass prior to reloading, but they can have drawbacks with continued use.
The key is not to let them stay cleaning for along time as the cavitation and vibrations can cause problems. The clean very well but inspection for any underlying problems stillhas to be done.

I also do brass caseings with Citronox and they have never been so clean inside and out.
I go through as many gun supply, etc. catalogs as the next guy and have never seen an ultrasonic cleaner as large as mentioned in these replies. I could have used one on my last two restore projects. Where can I find these larger units ?
Thanks
Plain water or dishsoap and water work well.
Great for .22LR suppressors.
Simple Green works well as long as no Aluminum involved.

Forgot to add, I use string or baling twine to hold the item in the cleaning fluid.
Best of luck with your quest for an ultrasonic machine[8D]
