    .....and I reblued an entire H&R 349 Gamester 16 gauge bolt action I have. Came out decent. How often do you guys run a quick brush and oil patch through your bores to keep away the rust?
  5. The AR-15
    I generally clean my AR every 200 rounds. That might be two range trips depending on how many i put downrange when i go. Is that an ok ritual or should i clean it more often? Thanks, Mac

    After firing 150 rounds though my S&W Model 66 I noticed the face of the stainless steel cylinder was blackened. It was not the kind of crud that wipes away with some Hoppes 9. I used a Q-tip to wipe add Hoppes 9 to the face, and the vigerously scrubbed with a brass bristled brush. After 6 tries...
  8. Long Range Precision Shooting
    I have always been a plinker when in comes to shooting but for the last couple years I started trying more precision and longer distance shooting. When it comes to cleaning I used to use a normal cleaning kit with a rod but a couple years ago I switched over to a bore snake because I was told...

    So I have this fancy (sarcasm) little Walther P22 which I like to shoot with a suppressor attached, but having the suppressor on there causes a tremendous amount of dirt to stay inside the trigger assembly and all the little nooks and crannies of the gun and it is impossible to get cleaned...

    I want to get one for a 223 rifle... is the dedicated MSR/AR kit the best? What about the deluxe law enforcement kit? Does anyone have any OTIS kits? Thoughts? Comments? Negatives?
  11. General Firearms
    So I took a shotgun class with a new gun on Sat. Chrome lined barrel. We probably ran 200 - 225 rounds through during the day. I could see chamber was getting pretty dirty towards end of day. Broke the gun down and used Hopped solvent and "Blast and Shine" to clean everything up. Wire brush...

    Now that I have started shooting more intensely (60-80 rounds a range trip), and shooting dirty corrosive ammo that leaves alot of copper fouling, the cheap 3 piece hoppes cleaning rods are not cutting it anymore. What cleaning rods are some of you using? I want a cleaning rod that wont break...

    Anyone ever try this? I have 100 pounds of glass beads for bead blasting, so I figured I would dump some in a tumbler with 223 brass to see how it works.
  16. Handguns
    I noticed when I first cleaned and oiled the Remington 1911, that there are directions for taking the magazines apart for cleaning. Beretta says nothing about cleaning theirs. What's the story with cleaning mags? Do you all clean them, and if so, how often. Thanks!
