This is never something I would have tried until I saw this video on youtube:

At the end, he suggests you put all the parts in a bucket with solvent, let it sit for a while, rinse with hot water, dry and reassemble.
I've always cleaned guns with solvent and then used an air compressor to blow the solvent off the gun and out of the internal parts that you can't get to. Then I'd oil. But recently, I've started rinsing the solvent away with hot water first, then blowing with the air compressor, and then oiling.
Does anyone else use water? If not water or air, how do you clean the solvent out of the gun before oiling and reassembling? Or, describe your process if you have something even more effective.
