Rice Cooking Your Gun Parts?

An old pot from a bargain/used store like goodwill also works nicely.

More fun after some Heine.

Not sure that boiling gun parts is a good idea it might lose its strength.

Blue Brick: No. :banghead:

I sincerely doubt the heat treat would be affected by boiling water temps. Generally steel won't lose its heat treat until much higher temps than the boiling point of water.

Naw, boiling water isnt even remotely hot enough to mess with heat treatment

Over 600F for steel.

guys,just diassemble it and drop them in the utencil tray of your dishwasher.i use that on my glocks and my ruger old armys.drop some dishwasher stuff in the door dispenser and go.

When I was young - that would be in the last century - I did that using my Mother's dishwasher...

I'm lucky I lived long enough to get old...

By the time the bolt is that far apart it's simplicity itself to clean the parts with a bit of regular solvent or even one of the citrus degreasers. No need to boil the parts at all. Cosmoline isn't THAT hard to remove!

Cosmoline comes off pretty easy using the high pressure wash at the car wash.

Guns and Ammo did a torture test based on a house fire, they used a barbecue. What is the temperature of a charcoal barbecue?
