What's the dirtiest gun you've ever come across?

Some folks here like to ride 'em hard and put them away wet.

Dirtiest guns I ever seen were the M16's that we used blank adapters with. You want to talk about carbon buildup? That's where it's at.

The m240b with the BFA made quite a mess of itself.

I experimented with my 22L ultrasonic cleaner. A bud had a horrible 1911 that really needed some love. I bagged the whole gun in a heavy-duty freezer bag with a solution of ammonia, dawn and dish washer booster. Ran it for 30 minutes in in the ultrasonic filled with water. It took off all the rust and crud down to clean metal. Then I dumped the bad which looked like black charcoal. Then to get all the water and cleaner from the gun I filled another bag with Kerosene and light motor oil at 50/50. I ran it for 30 minutes and the rest of the crud came off and oiled the gun up. He took it to the range, and he said the 1911 shot like new. In the past I have dropped my pistols in a solution of kerosene and motor oil they all have come out clean. I usually remove the grips whin I do this even do it with my .500 BFR revolver. Makes cleaning them almost fun.

Dad's nylon 66. Growing up, my dad was the kind of gun owner thar scrubbed the bore clean after every shooting trip, but didn't touch the action. I don't think the inside of that gun got touched until alucard stripped it and cleaned it a couple years back.
