I got a surplus Luger Hi-Power clone (gunbroker, Great price) but as with any surplus, there is work to do.
Problem: sand. There was sand packed in the guide rod spring. Which of course means there is sand elsewhere. This could explain the very gritty trigger.
Question: what would work best for sand removal? Will it require complete disassembly or could I just repetitively blast the internals with CLP until the grit goes away? I don't know if I'm skilled or equipped for much more than field stripping.
