When I was in the service we had to clean our weapons to the armorers satisfaction for three consecutive days. Were still getting carbon out of them the second and third cleanings.

Then we discovered liquid Freon with a spray wand. Cleaned the M-16's in just a few minutes. Problem was it turned them white as it took all the oil and carbon out of the metal. Had to wipe them down with oil so the armorers would not know what we had done. Really did not need to be cleaned the second and third days, but we went through the motions.

Hot water works well to on M-16's!
