corrosive?

[Pattern14]

Is there a proper way so I don't damage parts? I assume I should remove the bolt and use a funnel and pour from the bolt end and exit the barrel?

That's how it's done. I have a funnel with a long neck that fits into the receiver and takes the place of the bolt. I made it with a plastic funnel and a length of 1/2" diameter PVC pipe. When you pour just make sure you do it slowly otherwise the water will go everywhere. If the water is hot enough the barrel will dry quickly and when it cools you can clean normally.

Perfect, big thanks! I know exactly which funnel I will use. I have one that I use for my motorcycle which is curved and will fit great.
