Benchtop Ultrasonic Gun Cleaning Kit | L&R HCS 200

Why Do You Need an Ultrasonic Gun Cleaning Kit?

Your firearm - or collection of firearms - represent an investment. You are well aware of the importance of using brushes, sprays, pads and lubricants to clean your firearm after each use, whether on the shooting range or in the field. As important as these procedures are, they cannot remove all contaminants. This post explains how thorough firearm cleaning is accomplished by an ultrasonic gun cleaning kit.

HCS 200 Gun Cleaning Kit accommodates 2 full size semi-automatic handguns or a 6-inch revolver.

The HCS 200 ultrasonic gun cleaning kit is faster and more thorough than manual cleaning and substantially reduces cleaning and lubricating cycle time. Designed for the recreational shooter, hobbyist, collector or sportsman, it cleans up to 16 times better than hand cleaning and eliminates the need for multiple cleaning products.

Check our post for an explanation of how ultrasonic cleaning works. 

The ultrasonic gun cleaning kit quickly and safely removes:

• powder residues
• bullet shavings
• hardened lubricants and
• other contaminants from your valuable hand guns.

Your ultrasonic gun cleaning kit includes:

• 1 Ultrasonic Cleaning System with Basket & Cover
• 1 Auxiliary Lubricating Pan
• 2 (8 oz.) Pre-Measured Containers of Weapon Cleaner Concentrate Non-ammoniated
• 1 Gallon of ready to use Ultrasonic Weapon Lubricating Solution
• 1 Oil Applicator
• 1 Pair of Disposable Gloves
• 1 Star Relief Device
• 1 Level Gauge 

Cleaning and Lubricating Firearms with the Ultrasonic Gun Cleaning Kit

Equipment preparation:

1. Disassemble your weapon and set aside non-metallic grips of wood or ivory.
2. Prepare the bath by filling the ultrasonic cleaner tank with 1 gallon of water. Add the 8-oz. pre-measured gun cleaner concentrate.
3. Add enough weapon lubricating solution to the auxiliary lubricating pan to fully cover the parts. Insert the pan into the cleaning tank.
4. Turn the unit on to mix and degas the cleaning solution. Ultrasonic energy passes through the lubricating pan to degas the lubricating solution.

This should take approximately 10 minutes.  It should be done each time you prepare a new bath of cleaning solution or use fresh lubricating solution in your ultrasonic gun cleaning kit.

When you are ready to clean your weapon:

1. Place disassembled gun parts in the basket assuring that they are separated. Immerse the basket into the cleaning solution and turn on the unit.
2. Remove the basket and check the parts after 10 minutes (they may be hot). If satisfied rinse the parts in fresh water and drain.  
3. Transfer the basket and parts to the lubricating pan and insert it into the cleaning tank for a 10-12 minute cycle. This removes all traces of water and leaves the firearm looking and feeling like brand new.
4. Wipe any excess lubricant from weapons before reassembly.

When the  cleaning solution loses efficiency it should be replaced with a fresh batch.  Dispose the spent solutions according to local regulations.  Take time to clean the tanks according to the user manual.
