Bro, you're fine. You rinsed all the Simple Green out right? Then you dried your AR. Do you see any rust now? No? Then you got out all the water. To alleviate your paranoia, get your rifle, field strip it and remove the handguards. Set it in front of a space heater, or you home's heating vent for an hour or so. The only possible moisture left will be whatever is in the atmosphere at that point. |

This is a military grade rifle designed for the roughest environment on EARTH,,, the Battlefield. NO water wont hurt it. Are you related to the guy who had the MAJOR problem with a scratch on his lower??? |

I think that you will be waiting a long time for very little results. Punani: I hope you cover the container. The water in the SG will evaporate if you don't. |

looks like the test is showing. Rinse real well after use and do not have any SG left on al.
or to be safe stick to approved cleaners. |

The anodizing is showing more results quicker than I thought.
Keep the experiment going, very interesting. |

Do realize that the pats have been submerged for almost 4 days now, you rifle has been exposed for only a fraction of that

You're not screwed unless you leave the receiver in the Simple Green for an extended period of time. It won't hurt steel, but it WILL eat aluminum.

Actually no. If you do not flush out all SG you will be in trouble. It wont happen over night, but repeatted use will be bad. Rember USAF banned its use from Airmen that were using the stuff and not rinsing the aircraft well enough. SG found its' way into joints, seams, and rivits. causing all kinds of damage. one time use with a water flush you wont see damage. Keep failing to get all the SG out and murfy will win. |
