Besides my brass? What about bolt and bolt carrier group? My sico sparrow? Anything else?

You sure as hell don't want to put hardened steel, coated, or anything with a precision surface into any tumbler. You can clean brass, coins, stainless hardware, etc. but keep gun parts out.

OK. I guess i was thinking that brass is so soft, it wouldn't damage anything else.

I have heard of some people using them to clean compensators on some competition handguns and also 22 cal suppressors but not sure of the process. Don't know that I would use it for anything but brass.

Maybe using a vibratory tumbler or an ultrasonic cleaner, I wouldn't use a rotating tumbler.

Yes. I've heard of using the ultrasonic cleaners for suppressors more than a tumbler.
