| So I bought this the other day along with the cleaning solution. 32 OZ. It says mix with water.....Water will make it rust, anyone familiar with the cleaner? |

Water will make what rust?
I have the RCBS ultrasonic cleaner and have used it heavily for brass and parts cleaning. I have used Hornady's solutions and RCBS'S brand as well as homemade solutions. Just follow the instructions on the label and it will work fine. Also don't be afraid to crank that heater up. The RCBS brand brass solution seems to work a little better for brass cleaning but I have no scientific test. I have left the Hornady solution and the RCBS cleaner in the cleaner for days with no I'll effects. |

So you're saying a couple ounces of that rcbs and a lot of water won't rust out either of those if mixed properly? |

No sir, it will not cause it to rust. Unless you have some really bad water I suppose .
Your not supposed to leave stuff soaking for an extended period of time. But I've left BCGs and a suppressor soaking overnight before personally(probably not a good idea) With the RCBS gun cleaning solution after I take it out I shake off the excess then blast it with a an air hose to speed the drying. I just use the what he the instructions say and a 32 Oz bottle lasts me awhile. |

Going to check for rust throughout the week. Just makes me nervous because I know how easily the AR and components rust. |
| Honestly, long term humidity and or sweaty finger prints are far worse, What I do is after cleanming them, take them out, rinse them off good, and then blow them out with an air compressor. Then I usually throw the parts in a ziplock with oil. so far not a spec of rust on even rust prone guns. |

The bag part sounds like a good idea.....I didn't do that, but both of my Silencers are titanium and they said titanium doesn't rust, so I should be okay. The bolt and carrier however......I did oil them with a lot of CLP so I'm hoping I'll be alright. Also thank you guys for contributing to this thread, and helping me. |
