Ultrasonic Cleaning for Cap & Ball Revolvers
This guide details the process of using an ultrasonic cleaner for cap and ball revolvers, specifically demonstrating on a Colt 1860 Army. It covers disassembly, preparing a Simple Green and water solution, running two 8-minute cleaning cycles, rinsing, drying with compressed air, and re-lubricating with Ballistol. The method effectively removes fouling from difficult areas like nipples and hammer faces.
