The less than sexy side of firearm ownership is cleaning our guns and even brass. It can be slow, dirty work. We assemble a collection of tools and supplies as we prepare for a task that can sometimes be lengthy. Luckily for us, the team at Hornady has a solution with their Lock-N-Load Sonic Technology.
Cleaning Made Easy – Hornady Lock-N-Load Sonic Technology
The Hornady Lock-N-Load Hot Tub and 2L Lock-N-Load Sonic Cleaner offer hand loaders, gunsmiths, and firearms enthusiasts multiple options for achieving the highest standards. Consistently and meticulously cleaning ammunition cases and firearm parts is one key component in achieving repeatable accuracy.
Combining an intense ultrasonic cleaning action with Hornady cleaning solutions, the Lock-N-Load sonic cleaners easily remove carbon residue and corrosion from cartridge cases and firearm parts. Unlike tumblers, the ultrasonic action quickly cleans the interior of cartridge cases and ensures cleaning action in hard-to-reach locations. The microjets created by the sonic action and vibration blast residue and debris from a variety of components, including cartridge cases, metallic firearm parts, and tools.
