Re: Cleaning mag plates

quote Chris_P:

Taking the advice of another member, to save the skin a little, I have a bucket I fill with water/Pinesol mix. I clean parts in there, like carbs, mag plates, etc….

My approach is similar, though I use Simple Green in place of the Pine-Sol. Simple Green is much easier on your skin, plus it’s biodegradable and smells better (IMO).

It also has a broader range of uses – the stuff is simply great for cleaning guns! Take the gun to bits, spray the parts down with 50/50 SG & water, then wait 15 minutes. Brush stubborn deposits with an old toothbrush, and rinse in clean running water. Then onto a cookie sheet and into the oven, set for WARM – about 150-200F. Finally, a light spray coat of whatever lube / water-barrier you like – then reassemble.
