      You're going to find out they ain't as good as you think. and to get one with enough power to clean a rifle upper is going to cost more than $1500
      if you really want one I'd recommend Crest Ultrasonics. but they ain't cheep.

        The barrel needs proper cleaning to remove lead.

        I could see dropping a bolt into a jar of solvent and settling that into a sonic cleaner.

        I can figure out why you would want to drop an upper or worse yet a bolt action into a sonic cleaner.
        Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

        Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

        Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

        Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

          Some seem to think they can avoid the manual labor of gun cleaning.

            I have been looking at that one. Gun smiths I know that offer cleaning use Lyman, but their models start at around $2500, more than I?d like to spend. One I know has a $7500 Omega. I?m super meticulous when cleaning, so for me it?s more about getting the ultimate clean. Although the past several years I?ve been using rem oil for cleaning and lubrication, and there are times I?ve fired 1000 rounds of .556 and after the action is still pretty clean.

              Most would not swim with a gun as water gets trapped in places where you don't want water....
              Inside the bolt is a big concern to me......
