There is a decent thread about wet tumbling with SS and citric acid on ar15.com. Probably a few threads actually. I have tried the method where you just let it sit in the water, and with SS wet tumbling. The tumbling works a lot better. I only run new (after fired) for about 30 mins and that is probably longer than needed.
The citric acid really is helpful when you are trying to clean up old black stuff. I have some stuff from the 60's I found and it looks like I bought it new.
