Glock clean up?

[The_Count]

If you have access to an ultra sonic machine I would suggest placing all metal parts in it with a combination of warm water and dish detergent.

It does a hell of a good job.

Dry, lube, patch the barrel, and test it out.

Don’t take this the wrong way, you are the dept. Firearms instructor and a glock armorer yet you are soliciting advice for a VERY simple issue on an internet forum?

I am a fan of MPro7, we use it inside and there isn’t an aroma to offend anyone.

I’ll second(third, whatever) the use of dish washing soap, toothbrush, and warm water. Rinse. I like to stick a cleaned frame, part, or mag in the oven, on low, for about 20min. Then lube up.

gun scrubber and brake clean are the same thing. read the cans and compare. carbcleaner however is totally different. carb cleaner is not safe for plastics.

I’ll start this with a little background. I am my dept.'s firearms instructor and Glock armoror. This means that I am entrusted
with keeping all of our duty guns (Gen 3 GLock 22’s and 27’s)
clean and functioning. I recently came across a spare gun tucked
back away in the back of the safe in a cardboard box. From what
I have been able to gather, this belonged to an officer that retired
a few years back. My issue is that evidently before he turned it in,
he must of dunked it in either BreakFree LP or some other heavy
oil. I mean, the thing is completely soaked in oil. I plan on detail
stripping the gun and removing the oil, but was wondering what
would be the best route for removing it and what should be
re-oiled, etc.

I’ve been using WEAREVER brand non-clorinated brake parts cleaner from Advanced Auto Parts. It has no ill effect on the Glock nylon receiver. It’s cheap …~$3.69 a can. Sometimes they have a buy one get one free deal.

They’re somewhat similar but not the same thing. Gun Scrubber is designed specifically for firearms, and brake cleaner is designed for automotive parts. Most will find that brake cleaner is useful for cleaning their firearms as well, but be sure you use non-chlorinated brake cleaner if you do.

Dish detergent is awesome. Simple Green isn’t bad either. Just rinse everything throughly after you use any degreaser to be sure you don’t leave anything that could attack the frame.
