    High Standard Bolt Disassembly

    Howdy folks. One of the only guns I've had the pleasure of receiving for free was a gorgeous .22lr High Standard Sport King. Every shot I've got out of it has rivalled my rifles in accuracy and it's a very pretty and well-weighted shooter, with a field strip so easy it makes a ruger mk 4 look...

    Cleaning dead skin out of p365xl grip?

    So last fall I went and decided to finally get my CCW due to rising crime in the city I live in, and I decided on a p365xl for my edc. I like the aggressive grip texturing but today I noticed an issue. It’s been particularly hot recent and I carry iwb and the side of the grip that presses...

    22 suppressor cleaning

    I'm a new suppressor owner, I have a Dead Air Mask HD 22 can. I've only shot about 25rds through it. The manual that came with it said to clean it every 2k rnds or so My questions are how often do you clean your 22 can, and how do you guys clean them? I just recently learned about "the dip"...

    Aluminum Foil and Nickel Plating

    My wife suggested using aluminum foil for cleaning a nickel plated revolver that was pitted and black with both black powder fouling and oxidation. Turns out it works quite well to remove the embedded black powder fouling and the oxidation. Here is a parts gun I bought for a couple of pieces. I...

    Cleaning the gas tube on an ar-10

    I used some foaming bore cleaner on my AR-10. Yes, should have read the instructions more carefully. Now I am concerned some got in the gas tube and hardened. Is there any specific tools I should get to clean the gas tube?

    Interesting CLP test video

    CLP (Clean, Lubricate and Protect) products always seem to be a highly debated topic here. This video does some interesting testing on common gun CLP products. I have been following this channel for several years. He usually focuses more on tools and building products but he has good well...

    Ultrasonic Cleaning Pistol Parts

    To whom it may concern, I'm a little new to cleaning with an ultrasonic cleaner so forgive me if the questions sound dumb. Do you have to take sights off of guns to clean them in the fluid, I heard it will pull off the white paint from them. Also if I can put them in the fluid, can you place...

    Keep Carry Ammo Clean w/ ammo shortage

    Hey guys, this is my first post ever. I have come across a problem with my carry ammo. It seems to collect a lot of lint (as does my gun and holster). I just replaced my old ammo with some really nice federal HST ammo. I’m worried that after a few months of carry this new ammo will start looking...

    Dry patches never come out clean!

    Hello guys & gals. So like the title says... I'm totally confused lol. I've shot LESS THAN 20 ROUNDS through my Mosin Nagant. Granted, it was TulAmmo; but still! Am I missing something here? If my process & equipment matter, I'm dipping a brass bore brush in Hoppe's no.9 gun bore cleaner...

    Barrel Rust

    So, I have a big problem. I pulled my SKS out of storage a couple of days ago and found the barrel severely corroded. I blasted whatever crap would come out with compressed air and soaked it heavily in Ballistol. Then I scrubbed it several times with a Ballistol soaked wire brush and ran patches...

    Pre Hunt Inspection Traditions .50 Cal Hawken

    I purchased a cheap Endoscope from Amazon a while back and used it to inspect the barrel and nipple (Musket size) on my 20 year old Traditions Hawken Caplock. The .50 Caliber Hawken failed to ignite on my last attempted shot. I was surprised how dirty the nipple remained after routine...

    Suppressor: Aluminum Baffle Cleaning

On Gemtech's website for their GM22 they recommend the following: What solvents should I use or avoid using for cleaning? Make certain that any solvent you choose is safe for the material your suppressor is...

    Enfield no4 Bolt

    I have read on angelfire that you need a special tool to fully take apart the lee's bolt, ( a t-shaped thing) Is it really necessary to fully take the bolt apart, or is just taking off the breech bolt head and spraying action cleaner down there good enough?

    Sealant on Pulled Bullets

    I recently bought some pulled tracer bullets. There's a related thread up right now asking about the tracer aspect, so I would ask that if anyone has any advice on tracer rounds that you reply to that thread. Since the bullets are pulled from ex-military ammunition, they have bits of the...

    Clean up Kimber 1911 Barrel or replace?

    My Eclipse Custom II has some corrosion on the barrel. This came from storage in a high humidity environment that I did not adequately prepare for. Now I want to see if I can clean it up. Related, I'm looking into adding a mag well, extended slide release, and compensator. The comp means...
