I bought a used L&R off of eBay several years ago, wouldn't be without one. A way to test the efficacy of a used one is to drop a piece of kitchen grade aluminum foil in it, you should see holes in the foil within 5 minutes. I have s/n 383 Winchester Hi Wall, the colors after the UC bath were stunning, but only in the protected spots, the exterior was still gray, just clean. If the case colors are worn off no amount of cleaning brings them back.

I purchased a fairly inexpenive new one on ebay and it may well fall in the too weak to do anything although the reviews were good. I consider it fairly large and the receiver easily fits. It takes a long time to heat up and I assume the heat is something I want to use to clean the metal. I also purchased the Chem-Crest 235. Is an hour usually long enough running the cleaner on high heat. It does buzz pretty loudly.
So many guns, so little time!

Thank you CZ for starting the dedicated ultrasonic cleaner thread. Certainly surprised me at the level of excitement generated. This will likely be my last post of the subject....a before and after. Before: After:

As mentioned yesterday the barrels were a little loose. So as seen in the picture posted earlier, Claudio used his laser welder to build up the metal on the hook so he had something to work with. Then he uses a scraper to shape the hook to fit the barrel. He's aiming for a close, tight fit, but not all the way. Then it's time to blacken down the barrel face: Until full contact is reached. A little work is also applied to the locking bolt surfaces and then it's all as good as new.

Would it be asking too much for Claudio's full name and contact info? JR

This makes me really excited to get my Lindner back from Dewey V. I'll be ecstatic if it has half the case colors yours does!
