Per my earlier post on a stuck mainspring and a dirty Red Eagle, any suggestions on what would be a good brand and size of sonic cleaner to purchase for the purpose of cleaning up my Red Eagle collection. Mostly for pistols but could size up for other things. Also any favorite cleaning fluids? Thank...

I took your suggestion and soaked it in Rem Oil last night. Rubber jaws in vice would not hold it so I wrapped it in a small towel and clamped it with the steel jaws.

It looks real good and I am very happy with it at a fair price. I also have a P-38 and an Artillery Luger that we...

Hey radical rod,

It is a one piece hinged box. I think it may have inherited the new box and later edition of the manual when it went in for the transfer bar mod. The new manual talks about the transfer bar and there is a note in the box as to where the old parts are stashed.
