I just wondered what to make of the instructions in the CZ manuaI about cleaning parts of a gun other than the bore.
Why does it caution against the use of bore cleaners to clean other parts of the gun and say that they could remain in the joints and cause corrosion?
The carbon that builds up in the slide of an automatic is the same as the carbon in the barrel after all, and I'm not sure how you would remove it without a cleaner.
CZ recommends a "preserving oil" or paraffin oil, but I'm not sure what this means. I know that oils lubricate and protect against rust, but I didn't know they were much good for cleaning.
Why would the use of Outers Nitro Solvent or Hoppes Elite Cleaner, or any other popular solvent be considered inappropriate anywhere outside the barrel?
Or do you think it's a case of something being lost in translation, and that the instructions refer to the more aggressive bore solvents rather than the run of the mill general cleaners?
