I'm gonna atleast polish the rails she sounds really rough sliding in the upper lolBrush it up with a brass brush and polish it with a Dremel and Flitz. Oil her up and blast away. If you going to pitch it send it my way
The sometimes elusive interference fit can be achieved
Without lubrication, sometimes its rapidly done.
What brand is that BCG? That's not very good chrome if Dawn dish soap removed it.
How long was the timer on your cleaner set for?
Im not the OP, I just posted his picture.
You have to be careful with sonic cleaners. They can be useful, but they can cause a lot of headaches. You should be aware of the material, shape of your components, length of time being cleaned. Aluminum is softer than steel so its more sensitive to the cleaning process and parts can become damaged more easily. Personally I try to keep my guns away from them as I've seen several horror stories using sonic cleaners. Sonic cleaners also tend to focus on non continuous points. Sharp edges, cracks etc. So you may get uneven cleaning depending on what you are trying to accomplish.
Sorry for my confusion. I still say that the chrome wasn't very good to come off with Dawn soap.
I'll agree there chrome is one of the hardest platings available. The only thing I could see is maybe it attacked the material under the chrome, and just worked its way down the part. Needless to say this was in the sonic cleaner a VERY long time to strip it like that.
Young manufacturing it's about ten years old, but only has around 4k on it no chrome was missing before i stuck it in there. Yeah even when I woke up and realized it had been in there all night I didn't expect this. Just Dawn dish soap 880 secs heat was on. It was in there for about 7hrs total. This was first time I stuck a gun part in it. I've only used it for brass, and atv carb once.
Most sonic cleaners have a timer, so the sonic action will shut off.
Possibly the liquid in the cleaner was contaminated from previous cleanings of other objects?
I use Simple Green - SMP13406 Extreme Aircraft and Precision Cleaner mixed with water in my cleaner and have never had those kinds of results.
I've seen many reports of Dawn soap being very mild but I've never used it.

My Harbor freight sonic cleaner runs 3 or 4 different run time, but I think Max run time is 280 seconds.
