Alright, so I am looking at possibly picking up a Lyman Turbo Sonic 2500 cleaner. I already dry tumble my brass for reloading so this would primarily be for gun parts unless it did a bang up job on the brass and then the dry tumbler might be put on the back burner.
I would like to use it primarily for my AR bolt/bolt carrier group (I hate cleaning that thing) and I am the type that will break down my lever actions every now and then to give them a through cleaning and thought it might be nice for that as well as pulling off the grips from my stainless revolvers once in a while and putting the entire gun in it.
I have done some research on these things but would like to hear some of your thoughts? If your thoughts are dont be lazy and just clean the freakin guns please say so....don’t hold back..:D
 
I suggest that you disassemble all firearm components; don't sonicate a complete assembly so as to prevent unintended wear between the parts' surfaces due to the sonic-induced vibrations. I NEVER sonicate sights. I suggest that you don't sonicate aluminum parts as they are subject to surface pitting.

Besides gun parts, I use it to clean my brass satisfactorily. They won't get as shiny as tumbling, but I'm just going for clean...and clean they get, indeed.
