Does anyone use Break parts cleaner to flush out the old oil and grime in semi auto rifles? The reason I ask is years ago I used gun scrubber to clean out a old lever action rifle I picked up at a pawn shop that needed a good cleaning. At the time I did not know how to disassemble and reassemble the gun. Later when I did learn how to disassemble I was surprised to see how clean the action was. Fast forward, I have learned to disassemble and reassemble all guns I own, lever actions, pumps and semi autos. Every year or so I disassemble each for "rag on" cleaning. Now I come against the Remington 550-1 and it's dreaded sear spring cup/screw. I can do it. I just don't want to. Using break parts cleaner to clean barrels and parts for re-bluing. I found it works very good removing old oil and grime.
Now, my question. After all that. Does anyone use Break parts cleaner to flush out actions rather than disassembly ? I can re-oil from outside.
