Thanks for the replies!
Not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited about adding compressed air to my cleaning regimen. Thanks to the advice of those in this thread, I went back to HF today and picked up some additional items.
I've now added a regulator/filter combo device and monogoggles. I wear prescription glasses, and have safety glasses. But, since I'll only be using the air compressor for a few moments here and there, I figured more coverage and protection was the way to go.
I appreciate the input on the PSI setting. Remember, this is a cheap compressor bought solely for light duty. 100psi is the highest I can go. So, it's good to know that even at the max output I shouldn't have issues or concerns.
I understand that rifles and pistols see significantly more pressure when fired, but not all parts on a firearm are exposed to those high pressures. My question about components was geared more towards what TN-MadDog mentioned; little springs and pins. Specifically, I had the FCG parts in mind. Thinking it might be possible to dislodge something like a disconnector spring. Since no one has any horor stories of such, I'm going to call that question/answer settled. As suggested, I'll also skip the oil and will make sure to drain the tank frequently.
Regarding the actual cleaning...
What are everyone's preferred gun scrubbers/solvents?
In addition to the brand, what method do you all follow in relation to volume of cleaner and soak time prior to blowing everything out?
Currently, I have the following solvents and oils in my arsenal:
-Gunzilla (cleaning)
-Butch's Bore Shine (cleaning)
-Wipe Out and Gunslick Foam (cleaning)
-Slip 2000 EWL (lube)
-Aeroshell (lube)
-Tuff Glide (surface protectant)
I know people will use Carb or Brake cleaner quite liberally, and swear by it. Others mention firearm specific aerosols like Rem Oil, Birchwood Casey Gun Scrubber, Break Free, Hoppes, etc. I feel that I should use something along those lines to maximize the effectiveness of the compressor, but am not sure which. Regardless, since those products are intended to degrease, are there any lubrication adjustments I should be planning for?
Thanks in advance to those who'll read through the above. I know I can be a bit verbose.
