Don't use simple green it eats certain metals. Also rimfirecentral is a good place for 10/22 questions.

Re: 10/22 take down Fail to fire
AGI uses Simple Green in its gunsmithing DVDs.
I did some research... you are correct...it does eat soft aluminums. However it happened over long soakings...three, four days. From what I read, 15 minutes to an hour should be sufficient and won't hurt anything. But thanks for this good catch. rep sent.Last edited by Bang; January 14th, 2014 at 12:28 AM.

Yeah I found out the hard way. It was great for cleaning the rear cog on my mt bike. And as it was biodegradable, I used it on my engine later that night (3am) it ate through three wires to the ECU of my truck and left me stranded. That's when I found out its so caustic.

Damn! Good to know. Think I'll try to email AGI, bring it to their attention, and see what they say if they answer.

Re: 10/22 take down Fail to fire
The military quit using Simply green for the same reason, and issued a notice in a mil-spec. It will etch aluminum, and will continue to attack in not thoroughly rinsed.
I have used -Pine-sol for carburetors, it doesn't attack the rubber or plastic parts, and leaves the whole assembly (inside and out) looking like the day it came off the showroom floor. I soak them over night.
It would be interesting to know if it works on powder residue as well., if it ever came down to it.
Here are a few examples I found of before and afters

I've recommended and posted that link in motorcycle forums. One thing I found out about PineSol the hard ($$) way...the saddle on my '82 Aspencade (Wing) was stained and nothing was working. In a progression of try this try that I tried PineSol. It turned the surface of the vinyl to a sticky gum. End of that saddle.

So pliable vinyl is a no-no, good to know, thanks.
I did notice the image has some hard plastic parts in it, mainly idle adjustment knob and petcock fitting that show no damage.
I never had much luck with vinyl stains, I typically stop at toothpaste, and found most fluids attack soft plastics. Even silicone sprayed directly on a hard plastic surface will discolor it permanently.
They make turpentine out of pine."North of I-80, we don't dial 911, we dial 223"
