Great, thanks for the tips. I thought I knew, but it's always nice to confirm stuff like that. I'm sure I'll continue to get grease out of it. I went through 1/4 of a BIG jar of Hoppes #9 today, along with untold cleaning patches and shop towels. The small parts I soaked in Hoppes and scubbed/wiped with toothbrush, q-tips, and the blue ragpaper towels.
