This may have been mentioned earlier, but you really must rinse those parts before drying. Even the slightest remnant of simple green (a degreaser) will defeat your lubricant. It doesn't take much degreaser to destroy the properties of your lube. I always rinse under warm water & do another ultrasonic with fresh clean filtered water. THEN dry the parts and reassemble and lube. Ultrasonic cleaners are great, but get all that degreaser off the parts before reassembly.
And use distilled water!
@@MightyNinjaRabbitwhy distilled ?
@@wokethoughts2186unfiltered water contains minerals that can deposit on the part and might be corrosive or become corrosive to either the part or the lube. not a super big deal but distilled water is like $1 at walmart per gallon and its alot better that just water straight from the tap.
You can use normal water in the tank, and put the parts in a ziplock bag with the destiled water and degreaser and submerge the ziplock in the tank, you are welcome :)
Your previous video on cleaning with the ultrasonic cleaner. You won me over so I went out and bought one. It's my favorite way of cleaning guns now. Fast and way cleaner than ever before
It’s like magic!
I have a 25 litre ultra sonic cleaner which I use for cleaning motorcycle carburettors and their small internal parts, and a good tip for cleaning very small parts is to put the parts in one of those fine mesh muslin bags that you use for laundry tablets and suspend the bag in the cleaner tank. Now I have seen this, my Colt Walker will be getting an ultra sonic bath in future.
It’s the only way I clean my black powder revolvers these days. Thanks for watching!
@@GunsOfTheWest Do you take your black powder guns down to the screws every time you clean them in the ultrasonic?
You should get a 1851 Navy conversion, either with the cylinder, or a whole new gun. I'm thinking of getting one. Thanks!
I'd just like to add one point that I didn't see addressed in the comments and that is that the Simple Green original formula isn't the best choice for use on aluminum. It can actually etch some aluminum alloys. A better cleaner for things like aluminum frames is their Extreme Aircraft and Precision Cleaner. It's just as effective at cleaning but safe for aluminum alloys.
I like you ‘precision’ measuring methods!
Great video! if you want better results I suggest you run a cycle of 5 min without the parts in it and just the liquids, this will degass the liquids and you will get better results after a full cycle with the parts in it :)
Can you cook French fries in that?
Sure I do it all the time. They are a little soggy and taste like gunpowder but Good😂. At least that's what I tell my coworkers when they ask and bother me while cleaning guns. They always want hamburgers and fries.
Gotta get me one of those! Thumbs up video ~John
Just purchased a T-shirt and love it thank you
I’m glad you like it! Thanks for your business!
Thank you.
Dustin, how well does the ultrasonic method work on assemblies I really don't want to strip down to pins, springs, and parts? I am thinking about the bolt, and the trigger & safety, in my old Remington 582 bolt action .22 LR? The hardest part I can see is getting everything dry. I have used jury rigged tools to strip and reassemble both groups - once, ages ago. I should've left those cleaning jobs to a gunsmith with the right tools. (Stripping my Colt Pocket for this, though, will work great.)
Use a glass jar for the small parts. Glass is a much better conductor of the ultrasonic energy than plastic.
you aren’t worried about water getting stuck in the small holes in the slide ?
No, it’s easy to blow out. I’ve never had a probe with the water in any of my guns.
Cant this potentially ruin or damage the firing pin channel sleeve?
hey buddy, how are you? I have a doubt!, my ultrasonic cleaning machine is a little different! but I wanted to know if I can use kerosene with the additive to do the cleaning?
Did you leave the firing pin liner in while cleaning the slide?
Wouldn’t you also want to add grease to the other side of the trigger bar in the back area where it interacts with the frame or in other pieces the rail as well as lubing the top of the barrel at the front of the breach?
What is the ideal temp for gun cleaning? Thanks
What about the polymer? Was there any reaction from chemicals?
What size cleaner do I need for a 7.5 inch SAA or 1847 Walker?
You also need to hit the on button for the temperature control :)
Have you tried dry lube for the block? I'm using "WD-40 Specialist Dry Lube with PTFE" for most firearms parts these days and only use grease for very high wear rate locations. The dry lube attracts less dirt with lubrication every bit as good.
The heater was actually on already. I haven’t tried the Dry Lube, but that sounds interesting.
Ballistol cleans, protects from moisture and keeps everything well lubricated. I clean all my firearms with ballistol and just put a couple dots of ultima lube on the barrel and rails.
When finished I put the parts in another zip lock bag with distilled water, out, dry and relube
Wow cool!👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
I was just wondering since this video is a year old, how that ultrasonic is holding up? I have gone through three. Two were the smaller versions you see made under Lyman and Harbor Freight brands. The other I ordered off Amazon under the Kendall brand which looked almost identical to the one you are using in this video. It died after about a year. All of these ultrasonics are made in China and just rebranded according to the wholesale purchaser. From my experienc, they just don't hold up very well. I am considering either the Ultra 1300M or Infante S6 for my next purchase, but they are considerably more expensive. So I would appreciate your feedback as to how this Vevor is holding up. THanks
This one actually still works great.
When you go to Amozon it gives you like 4 different options with size did you get? Thanks
This one is the 6L.
I’m an advanced glock armorer do not use grease on your Glock. Glock recommends CLP or you can use slip 2000 EWL
They also tell you not to use reloads or lead. Hmmmm. My Glocks have seen nothing but my lead loads….no problems. Advanced Armorer? That and $6 may get you some coffee at Starbucks. A ten year-old child can change the parts in a Glock. No “Advanced Armorer” needed.
I wonder if canned air would also work.
Why do you use 50% simple green and 50% water and why?
what size ultrasonic machine would you recommend for a Walker
Here’s the one I use.
a.co/d/cNGzC3k
The Walker fits in this one.
Rinse in warm or hot water then dry. I would put everything in a bag with oil and run the ultra again. Gunsmiths do it that way.
With the lower and all the parts in it
Would it work if I left the grip and
all the parts in it. Would they all get clean?
I think it would get clean, but it may be harder to get all the water out afterwards.
@@GunsOfTheWest thanks
Can you use ultrasonic cleaning solution or something like lighter fluid?
Look up Ed's Red and make a batch. Just strain in though a coffee filter back into a metal can when done.
Why are you not reintroducing oil to the dry metal on the inside and outside of the side? You let it soak in, then wipe off the access. Especially after using Simple Green. It strips all the oils away.
I have never seen a glock rust. I oil up mine but i mean it works
@@darrengarcia4937 A buddy of mine had a Glock 22 (Gen 3 or 4) as his service/duty weapon that would show surface rust in the summer when it was humid, or when he'd sweat more often.
Once I ran it through my Ultrasonic Cleaner, and treated it with Froglube, he had zero problems.
@@MrBDDSWC huh interesting. I do tend to wipe mine down with a silicon rag every now and then.
@@darrengarcia4937 That's better than nothing, I suppose.
The Glock 19- the gun that won the West … 😇
Have you tried cleaning brass in this ultrasonic? If so, how does it work.
It works great for me. I think you can even get a cleaning solution made specifically for that, but I just use warm water and a little bit of Dawn dish soap with good results.
You can put water in the cleaner and put everything in a zip lock bag with your cleaner and do the same thing and not have to clean your ultrasonic cleaner.
How many liters is the ultrasonic cleaner?
This is a 6L.
Hmmm, a plastic gun cleaned by a sonic cleaner being featured on "guns of the west"... Just doesn't seem right for some reason. :D
LOL!
I mean the Glock is a gun and Dustin does live in the west so therefore it is technically a "Gun of the west." Lol
@@Real11BangBang I would love to argue with you but those are very valid facts you pointed out....... but still say goes against the spirit of the channel overall.....
I can't clean my glock bottom half with the talon grip on?
I wouldn’t put the frame in the ultrasonic with Talon grips on.
What’s the capacity of this ultrasonic cleaner?
Looks like a 3 liter.
why not to ultrasonic clean the pistol without taking the whole thing apart?
Very, VERY well presented & articulated!!!
Question for ya…would it be okay to use Ballistol instead of Simple Green? I’m thinking of filling the US tub with water then putting my parts in a ziplock bag filled with Ballistol.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽

It's weird seeing you with a modern firearm lol
Dont want to sound rude, but if you are the only person in the room doing this video, and I assume you are, why do you need to show your viewers, all whom in no way can be harmed by watching your video, that your gun is empty and has no round chambered?
Make no sense to me since it is obvious after you teat it down. Just saying....
Because it is good practice and viewers should do the same before cleaning a gun.
