kindapointless 22 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I have shot almost a 1000 centurion slugs and my puc and regulator are pretty leaded up. I had a bright idea and wanted yalls input on it. I'm thinking about taking a propane torch and heating them till the lead melts off. Easier and quicker then anything else I could think of. Anyone see a downside to this? It's factory plug and regulator btw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JunyardDog 2 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'm thinking that heating hot enough to melt lead would change the temper of the parts and that would probably not be a good thing. Would you do the same thing to a rifle barrel to get the lead out of it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone see a downside to this? It's factory plug and regulator btw I would use a wire wheel brush on a drill. It comes off very easy with that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kindapointless 22 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Went and got a tornado brush and it worked wonders on the gas block. Tried a brass brush on the puck and it seemed to leave scoring on it . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
