Cleaning mags...

[sailskidrive]

I found a source online for used Hk USP Expert mags, so I order a bunch of them. All of the mags are in good working order but they are filthier than a Wall Street banker. I've tried soaking them in soapy water and scrubbing the insides with a tooth brush but the grime is really putting up a fight. I'm reluctant to use Break Free or Powder Blaster on the plastic. Suggestions?

Do you think it's safe to use on the plastic? What is that "Ass-licious" stuff Chad recommends?

Use simple green for them then get some "Polymer Safe" Gunscrubber and sray it ont he nooks and crevices and scrub with a nylon brush.
Once done rinse with some soap and water and lubricate. They should look brand new.

Cool thanks I'll give that a try this weekend! If that works out I'll probably order some more as its getting a little more difficult to find the mags, especially used.
