Greetings,
I know how to maintain an AK, SIG556 or bolt action.
I already asked a few pointers, but I am not sure I do it right.
When I clean my AR-15, I split the top from the bottom. I use Hoppes #9 and soak the barrel. Then I use a brass brush and brush a little bit, the clean with a patch. Then I lightly oil the barrel (I live in the south). I also use a cloth and remove the carbon residues by simply "dusting" the interior of the receiver.
The bottom receiver, I simply use a cloth and remove the carbon residues by simply "dusting" the interior of the receiver.
Now, the part I am not sure. I dissassemble the bolt up to the extractor and I remove all the carbon residues with Hoppes #9, cloth and brass brush when needed. I lightly oil all the parts and reassemble the bolt. Then I put 1 drop of gun oil in each hole on the side of the bolt and work it a few times.
At the end, I put some lithium oil on the track on the bottom of the bolt and a little drop on the hammer to limit the friction.
Do I do something wrong? Am I forgetting something?
Thank you
