The CZickness XLII looking towards the FGE

[Benp]

So I'm not supposed to just spit and polish?

GM all. Coffee or murder. I have yet to dive into advanced cleaning techniques. I mostly use rods, but will run a snake if it's just a quick wipe down. Depending on the firearm, I clean after a certain round count. Some more thorough as I'm more comfortable in disassembly.

Yep, this is new for me as well. I've got more to learn. Of course I never want to stop learning so you all help me out a lot!

Speaking of cleaning, I found this stuff for cleaning a 6.5 Creedmoor that I never used (sold the rifle before ever doing anything with it).

If anyone in here wants these items, send me a PM with your shipping info and you can have them. FOR FREE.

Keep the mislabeled Hoppe's .243 brush. The label should read ".22LR Chamber Brush". Use it to remove carbon rings.

For what it is worth, I generally don't do any more to the bore that run a cleaning bore snake and then an oiled bore snake.

The action areas I will spit shine but I leave the barrel alone. Exception would be lead fouling which, IMHO, should be mostly removed.

Well yeah, but don't you mostly lose at shooting competitions?

Mileage payback.

Morning RK

Anyone in here want some CCI #11 percussion caps?

Yes, but, as you point out, it is my gun, not me.

I hope BCannon is smiling right now.

I'll take a box of 100 caps - if you deliver.

Oh my ......playful animosity is afoot this morning !

Yup

Ill admit I should've taken the first rifle offered to me but I wouldn't have the new office and view if I did. That shiny new placard on the door is suuhhweeet . To be honest I still think it was mostly related to the quality of the gun but don't tell management.

A lot of variables with this also, might need to run more testing and QC at the next SGE..

Slowed early for a Friday night.

'Cause I had to be up and at 'em this morning. Mower has to go in for warranty work this AM. Elwood b4 noon. Steal my Scag back from the rental and mow my lawn tonight.

An odd combination of terms.

We're an odd combination of people.

Back to Mr. J. Bennett 's (true identity now known) question: before my guns go back in the safe, every possible form of fouling/contamination is removed from the bore. I usually do a two-part cleaning.....first, with Hoppes#9, then with CLP. Before the final protective coating of oil is applied, my bores are so clean that they're practically to a hospital level of sanitation. Yes, I know that's not necessary, but (as Popeye would say), "I am what I am" !

 

[Leadeye]

Sorting scrap lead today, if you guys see any I'll buy decent quantities.

Slow Saturday in here. Everyone busy cleaning guns?

 

[Haven]

I went back to sleep around 9:30, slept till noon. Then had to run around and get things done. Headlights on the Trailblazer got pushed off till tomorrow. MCFG run got pushed off due to being awake stupid early, and needing to get stuff ready for work tonight.

Cleaned one and then put about 120 .22LR thru it.

 

[wtburnette]

Nope, mowed the lawn, then made some nachos grande and had a few too many beers with a shot of tequila...
