I've got 2 really old/well used BC hot lips and they are giving me problems feeding, is there anyway to clean the inside?

Use 91% isopropyl alcohol (available at grocery stores, WalMart, etc.) It won't harm the metal or plastic and is pretty good at removing the crud. Fill about 1/3 and shake (don't stir

).

Or just buy new ones. That's why they're glued (or sonic welded) in the first place.

They are shit mags. Put them in the dishwasher. If that doesnt work. Put them where they belong, in the trash.

Then buy some of these:

Well, yeah, but sometimes, they're all you've got.

I haven't tried it yet, but when teh hot lips mags go on sale again at my friendly neighborhood BiMart, I'm gonna try a can of Birchwood-Casey Gun Scrubber aerosol with the label that says "safe for plastic!" on it and see how that goes.

Try the waterhose on them.
