Cleaning magazines

I clean my mags very rarely, and only the ones I use at the range, in any case I rinse them with some sort of tetrachloroethylene which is a solvent used to take stains off clothes; but I would never use it on Luger mags with wooden bottoms.

When I've got to clean a very dirty gun I always start with a piece of rough cloth soacked with tetrachloroethylene.

I keep an ample supply of those wooden Q-tips in my shop.....actually, the very same brand. In the Medical office, they are used for many things....noses, ears, etc. They do a better job than the short plastic stemmed Q-tips. It is like using pipe cleaners for cleaning the slide and frame grooves.
