Return to “Recommend A Good Cleaning Gun Spray!”
Well, I guess it could be worse:Abraham wrote:Bitter Clinger,
When I go from one room to the next, I'm lucky if I remember, once I get there, why I went there to begin with...and I'm not kidding.
Now, what are we talking about?
Also, when I ask for suggestions, I might find new information.
It'll especially be new if I forgot all about it the first time I heard it...
Unless you start finding your glasses in the freezer, your watch in the flowerpot or other objects in strange places I would not worry.Abraham wrote:Bitter Clinger,

Again, if you are running reloads, then you may see considerably greater contamination. I ONLY run clean, factory new ammo.Abraham wrote:Bitter Clinger ,
I like your idea, but some of my guns (Glock/Browning Buckmark/) begin to have ejection problems after say 2/3 hundred rounds that cleaning cures. The burned powder residue hampers the action in these pistols. To be sure, so far my AR's can be shot without cleaning very often and perform flawlessly.
Do you recommend any solvent/cleaner type solution you squirt into moving parts and then lube without disassembly and cleaning that keeps your guns performing?
Much like Carlson 1, I take no pleasure in gun cleaning. It's simply another chore I'd like to limit if possible without suffering poor performance.
I do use a pretty heavy duty spray cleaner when I do finally field strip (and never go beyond field stripping) such as Birchwood Casey "Gun Scrubber" and over time I have come to favor Safariland Break Free "CLP" for detailed final cleaning and re-assembly. These are simply my personal preferences with no hard data to back up my selections other than I can tell you that as long as I keep the guns lubed, they seem to run virtually forever. Hope this helps...
P.S. I do agree with you and Carlson. Only worse chore IMHO is bleeding brakes
