I would not have any problem taking a single action all apart and putting it in a bath of some kind. I just can't see taking the grips off and dropping it in there....? Maybe if somebody explained to me exactly what kind of solution it is and what it does inside the frame and how it comes out of there, or evaporates, and what's left behind after that inside the frame, I'd be more open to it. I can break down a single action all way and clean inside the frame and all the parts including taking off the loading gate, spring and plunger, and have it all back together again in less than an hour while watching the TV on my work bench. Now I would not mind putting all the parts into a bath and taking them out later either. But dropping a unassembled single action into a a bath, I have to know more. Bothers me a little bit. So I'm asking, what kind of solution can you just drop an unassembled gun into?
