He probably needs to clean off the mess of cosmoline from them. Not and inside job though. And if its as cold around Dayton as here in Cleveland brake cleaner is a b!tch on your hands at 10 degrees F. I guess if you wanted to make the wife happy you could do them in the dishwasher!! She'd get a new one that way.

I am talking normal shooting range accumulations of bits of brass, small amounts of grit deposited by walking across ground cover, lubricating oil residue, grass and probably some others I have missed mentioning............We occasionally shoot in a strip mine area that creates all kinds of particles, almost like a coating of sand, regardless of ground covers in place. Shooters must occasionally walk off the cover and back on........

For inside You could use a deep storage tub and some Simple Green. Not nasty petroleum smelling. Works well.

I was going to say a plastic 5 gallon bucket and simple green as well. Good stuff. Might spray them down with carburator cleaner beforehand to loosen up the gunk, but I doubt it would be necessary.

Try soaking them in fuel oil first ( overnight and outside ) and than Simple Green. FWIW. Harry.
