I think you have it the other way around. It's worse to mix water with boiling oil, as opposed to adding boiling water to cool oil.bradaz11 wrote:water and boiling hot oil, no thanks

I have a good cleaning regime, but the cylinder is a pain to get clean and I like the idea of an occational deep clean.
My local gunsmith has a ultrasonic cleaner, but uses water and then drops it in a chip fryer with hot oil to push out the water. Did a nice job of my cylinder when I first got it and we could not get the nips out, but I would prefer to do it in one pass and avoid the water.

I retract my statement!That is how I clean my BPs and never have a rust issue, you obviously need to dry them afterwards, a good spray/flush with a water displacing fluid, (I use Pocket Rocket loads cheaper than WD40, FredB put me onto it) is all I do and it is good to go.Hrun wrote:I did water once when I first got it, never again, it was a nightmare trying to stop it rusting for the next two weeks.dromia wrote:What is wrong with your gun that it needs ultrasonic cleaning?
For BP fouling all that is needed is tap water, it doesn't want to be hot either.
BP fouling is easily removed with water.

I fully agree with that, warm water with a little washing up liquid does the job. Nipples removed from cylinder every time a nd only finger tight when replaced. Everything thoroughly dried and a Young's 303 applied to gun inside and out, no rusting.dromia wrote:What is wrong with your gun that it needs ultrasonic cleaning?
