Anyone using this to clean .32 ACP?

I use this for my 380 and 9mm, but be aware that the tips are VERY cheap and break easily.

Sure. Just be sure to use gun cleaning solution, not brass cleaning solution.

I use the Hornady cleaner, I believe it does both, because my guns have a combo of stainless and blued. I looked at the label, and it says safe for all metals.

I believe it is better then the Hand Press. I got mine to taper crimp 45 ACP's since my old press won't do it all that well. Works fine for that and I am sure it will do fine for the rest of my pistol reloads. Not sure how well it will work for large rifle cartridges but I don't reload those anyway. It was a good buy for my use.

Yeah, there's a bit of truth in that. It does gunk up a bit more/faster. However, it also stays in place better. It depends on what your application(s) are for it, but the hotter or more friction-y the area, the more good the thicker stuff will do for you. The EWL30 is too gunky for an AR bolt carrier group. But I like a couple of small drops of it on Glock slide rails. When I first got it I was using it for everything, but I gradually scaled it back. Nowadays I mostly use it on other things, such as knives, door hinges, various home projects, etc. I've moved back to lighter lubricating products on my guns. Except that, as noted, I do like the EWL on pistol slides. I also use it on my M1 Garand, where it's actually very useful. So overall, I don't think there's a 100 % clear answer to your question, but you could probably do without it if you have other, lighter duty lubricants that work for you. I use Fireclean for about 90 % of my gun cleaning needs now. Anyway, hope that helps, good luck with whichever product(s) you settle on.

Be careful. Some expecially with any regular gun solvents.Best to check with Crosman.

Have never tried it, good idea though. I just clean mine out with Clorox cleanup.

Yes - clean it like a gun. The barrel needs lubrication. P.S. don't dry fire it. I accidentally did in my back yard and it sounded like a real gun fired, not to mention it's really not good on the compression seals. I love mine. Best powerful pellet gun ever - Not for minors though!!

My wife usually washes it and sometimes soap residue seems to remain. Pretty awful when that happens. I think take other recommendations here - especially about holding down the trigger, and then only rinse it well with hot water to clean it!

Think I've cleaned about 4-5k 223 rem brass and 2-3k of 308 with odd bits of pistol brass thrown in. Still working good. Added a small dog bed in a cardboard box to cut out the noise.

If you been shooting a lot of lead pellets from it or copper bb's you may want to clean the barrel first, just like any rifle or pistol. The lead or copper build up will cause inaccuracy after a while of shooting. I shot these out of my Crossman Pump master 760, and they did very well. Remember to use proper safety equipment, and always exercise proper gun safety rules before, during, after shooting!

it seems very mild , I still use a solvent to clean the bore . I mainly use the m-pro for carbon and ''coating'' the gun when I want to store it awhile . I usually wipe the gun down with a very small amount of oil and briefly clean the bore before using again . With all the gun finishes and ornamentation , I don't want to leave them sit with a harsh cleaner on them . M-pro is non toxic and little smell , good for in house use

I cleaned the barrel with 177.cleaning pellets and a gun cleaning kit the hoppes kit I bough from Amazon just use the oil it comes with on the outside only!!! I oiled the barrel with the silicone chamber oil by crosman spring oil!! I have the spring black ops! The round 177.bb worked great in it!! I was really loud I like using the heavier 177 pellets H&N barracuda power 10.65 but anything 8.18 and up works great in it.....

Aye. Have cleaned Glocks with it for years. Zero issues. Use it in good health.

Hornady makes a gun parts cleaner (black label) for their sonic cleaner II. Follow the instructions. It works great. Supposed to be ok for all types of finishes...(Mine is stainless). Cleanest my Kimber has ever been.

My rifles came from Walmart shipped directly to my home. No cosmoline on either, just a very light coating of gun oil. Don't use copper brushes just a good stiff synthetic. Make sure you get all of the lubricant out of the tube. If not you are going to be surprised with the bang you will get. I did not clean my .177 as thoroughly as I should have and the first pellet sounded like a ma duce going off. Keep them all in the X ring. Semper Fi Molon Labe CHS USMCL

i always lube a bit, maybe every 20 cases or so. I use this simply because i have so many different sized cases to do, and it's easier than continuously swapping out dies. I always decap before i clean the brass as i find the media lasts longer.
