You know about them, huh? Actually had one once, a repro. After about three cylinders full went thru it, it started to open up so I got rid of it. Nobody in their right mind should ever shoot a brass framed revolver, or even make one, for that matter.

Does one ever truly get it all out?

I'm still getting ooze from my M48's hand guard after twenty or so rounds.

I used the EZ Off method when I purchased the rifle in winter of 2006.

Some milsurps, I think, never lose all their saturated grease. I always, nearly always, carry some paper towels with me to the range for wiping off boiled out grease from a lot of rounds fired or just a hot day.

I've heard of people putting shorter stocks in the dishwasher, but the detergent bleaches the stock, however the hot water and steam get out some dings and dents. I've built a "Cosmo Coffin" (large rectangular sheet metal tube) powered by a small space heater, let the stock and hand guard sit in it for about an hour and wipe down with denatured alcohol and repeat for about 12 to 18 hours. It may not get all of it out but pretty darn close. Best part is it's reusable.
