Stan, IIRC that sear spring is from the right lock. If that's not correct or I make any other mistakes along the way, I expect CJO to be along at some point to correct me. Lol

Beautiful! Thank you for this and previous post, your first post helped convince me to seek out a decent Lindner myself. Mine is just a 185 1907 and currently with Mr Dennis Smith. I get mine back in August. Keep it coming! Many thanks. I have a friend who knows Dennis Smith well and I have seen up close some of his fantastic work. You'll have to post some before and after pics when your gun gets back in your hands. I'm positive you'll be very pleased.

What do you use in your Ultra Sonic Cleaner? How long do you run the ultra sonic for?

i expected that i'm not the only person who is suddenly in the market for an ultrasonic rig....those case colors...completely hidden, but still there, are a powerful motivation for me...
colors like that would cost hundreds of dollars, not to mention the risks associated with the process. if a serious cleaning can bring them back...wow.

You will find hidden colors but very rarely to this degree. I have cleaned hundreds of guns in mine and have yet to find one with that much hidden color. That said, if you buy an ultra sonic cleaner I highly doubt you will regret the decision.

Thats not going to happen. If the colors werent there in the first place, they arent going to be revealed.
Spic and span and hot water works as well as anything in an ultrasonic cleaner for firearms actions. Simple Green and water works too.
My ultrasonic cleaner has 8 minute cycles, and I routinely do it four or five times until the water comes out clear. I change the water after each couple cycles. Unbelievable what comes off.
But, it will be so clean when you get done you absolutely must relubricate it, for fear of rusting. And the steel will be quite hot if you use near boiling water.
Out there doing it best I can.

Some ultrasonic cleaners have heaters, a good feature. It can also do a good job on brass for reloading, but Id make sure the cleaning solution is okay, as it may differ for ferrous and non ferrous.

I bought a fairly large capacity version for cleaning brass of BP fouling. It was a seemingly good deal on Ebay. But it turned out to be a bust. The thing is so weak, that even with the heater running full blast and the unit cranked up to max its ability to do much of anything is pretty limited. So, buyer beware, not all good deals are good deals (I know, that's not exactly big news).

Mine is an L&R brand, outrageously costly new, I bought mine used on ebay minus the basket. All in I think I have about 275$ in it, not cheap but it has been used steadily for the last 17 years by me it still does a great job. I use a diluted gun cleaning solution, Chem-Crest 235, costly stuff but it lasts forever if you use it diluted.
