Well, here in Kentucky, it's just a once a week thing anyway...

You shouldn't have to worry about dropping your soap Bean, UNLESS you're sharing your shower with someone you haven't told us about!

Yup. carbide tips for breaking vehicle safety glass quickly.

Then there's the "AXE Gel" in the pink, hand-fitted, grip-fitted, "manly" container...

I'll stick with my bar of Irish Spring, and be careful not to drop it!

Looks like a quick way to "open" vehicle windows to me......

Hey Bean,

What are those little pointy things on the prongs of your flash supressor and what do they do? Other than generate questions.

Nothing cleans like hot water!

That is true in many situations.
Here's a tip:

Ever scrubbed the corrosion off of your vehicles battery terminals? Coat them in baking soda paste to neutralize the acid?
Try slowly pouring plain old HOT water over the battery cable connections...

I posted a similar thread back in 2004, and got similar responses.

That time I had shot a K98 with Romo ammo (you know how dirty it is) and really did bring the barreled receiver into the shower to cut time. I was at my parents' house and needed to get that done before jetting back down to Charlotte where I lived. Worked really well. Hot water from the shower down the bore was fast and...

When I went through Basic Training we all stepped into the shower with our M-16's after the night on th Infiltration Course. It was December, it had rained all day, the range was course sand, and we all crawled the entire 150 meters from trench to trench. Upon returning to the barracks we all trailed in pounds of sand and we all stepped directly into the shower to get most of it off our selves and equipment before stripping and going to our bunks.

The next day was spent...

What happens if the AR drops it's bar of soap? What happens if HSC drops his?

Does the type of flashider become significant at this point?

There's just too many unanswered questions...

protocol needed hsc -

does the AR get toweled off first, once the showeree and firearm are squeaky clean?
and is there a specific drying technique that you can share, and still keep this a G-rated forum?

Not sure this thread even qualifies as being safe for the whole family.

Other than shooting Black Powder, I really can't see the utility in this cleaning technique. How does it work, one hand for the gun, one hand for the soap, and does soap and water actually cut modern centerfire cartridge fouling?

Could this possibly be the basis for many a long lost love???

I guess that old army guy I spoke to on gun cleaning was right......taking an AR 15 into the shower IS a quick and easy way to clean.

Afterwards I followed up with a liberal application of hair dryer to get rid of all the water (that's the only reason I keep a hair dryer around since I started shaving my head).

Getting those handguards off by hand prior to the shower was tough!
