    Wait till you put a semiauto in there that you haven't done a thorough cleaning on in a while. If you put it in and watch it you'll be amazed at the gunk that you can see coming out of every nook and cranny.

    Mostly I've decided it's not worth the hassle: run through several cycles, rinse, cook or air dry.
    Tumble with walnut does a good enough job all on its own.
    What the sonic is great at is cleaning AR bolt carrier groups.
    I use warm water with a bit of non foaming dish washer soap added. Cleans the bcg down to bare metal.
    Flush with hot water, oven dry, then lightly oil and good as new.
    I dry tumble my brass. I wanted the sonic for gun parts and other stuff. Works awesome!

    I'll sonic clean my brass if its really dirty or range brass. Then tumble it. Usually i just tumble.

    I've got a little trick for nasty brass. I have some well used walnut that I pour a little paint thinner in and run my nasty brass in that. Works wonders, even the inside of pistol cases. [emoji846]

    I think sonic cleaners get a bad rap. Mine works great and is part of my process. I will always polish in corn cob when done.

    I was skeptical and now I'm a believer! Saved me a bunch of time scrubbing that cylinder.

    Like everything else, it’s another tool. When used properly it works.
