Hi Guys
I've just picked up a Lyman Cyclone case tumbler

I thought I'd throw some nuts, bolts, shock rubber steel washers, a rusty pistol barrel in it for an hour, now the kit comes with 5lb of stainless wire bits, you half fill the bowl with bits (max) tip in the stainless wire bits, cover with water and add some dish washing detergent liquid or similar, it has a built in run timer so you can set and forget, cleans dirty brass great, aluminium and it would even clean up rubber bushes to look new as well!!!

Browning Hi Power 35 dodj, probably been destroyed by the government by now, still in use by our green army guys, the lower standing lug was sheared off the barrel, common problem, just throw a new one in and go shoot, it was just something rusty that I could throw in the bike to test.
One of the things with this tumbler using pins is it leaves a nice semi polished finish not unlike new bolts and washers, bead or sand blasting clean leaves a matte finish which isn't like original
