    Easy way to clean several magazines at once?

    Talking about steel and alluminum pistol magazines in my case.

    It's a hassle cleaning maybe 15 mags at once taking them apart and properly cleaning each one. For the training magazines I dont mind mixing up parts so that's not an issue.

    I would just like to dunk them all in a bucket of something and then dry them or whatever.

    Not having to disassemble them would be fantastic but I think that's just dreaming.

    I'm mainly talking about steel pistol mags from .25 - 9mm.

    Ideas?

    in my opinion, if they are dirty enough to need cleaned, you will need to scrub them.
    You need to make sure you remove air pockets, etc.

    I disassemble, soak in simple green, scrub with a brush, rinse in hot water, air dry, light oil, and reassemble.
    Dried on mud is usually what ends up requiring cleaning.

    Pick up a mag body brush for both pistol mags and rifle mags as they make quick work out of cleaning out the body. Otherwise same as above method.

    No cheat codes for this I guess.

    Darn. I don't really enjoy cleaning guns and mags but I do like them clean. (And knowing they've had a good inspection)

    Thanks.

    Blast them with compressed air to dry them in seconds.
