i took my hushpower apart today and wow was it gunky. It was so gunky i almost coudnt get the outer tube off. Can anyone suggest something that can cut through the gunk ? Napier spray on gun cleaner isnt up to it, at points my finger nail was struggling to get through it 

 

any suggestions ?

Its along shot but depending upon your line of work you may be able to find someone that has an industrial sonic cleaner. The insdustry I work in uses them for cleaning machine parts. 

The one we use is big anough to sit in, I work with a few rifle shooters and we pop all the mods in there at once, they come out like new.

have bought some and will give it a go 

Way i see it is, if it gets carbon built up off wheels it should do the job on a gun. Beware in case youve never used it before, it will wreck paint work after a while. Dunno about blueing as ive never tried it. Water it down loads. 

And sorry if im teaching you how to suck eggs 😂👍

I used carburettor cleaner on the inside.after soaking it in gunk for a day to break up the lead that’s inside.

its seems to be a black tarry like substance that laughs at napier gun cleaner 

i may try this as well - though if its tar like perhaps something like ethyl acetate will get through it
