    Great place. The Range Officer and manger are tops. It does get pricey to rent, especially the ammo part, but it is a cheap way to test drive short of having a friend with what you want to try. You can save a few bucks by bringing your own targets.

    Water

    Small cleaning kit

    Keys to all locks you are bringing (unless they are combo locks)

    Gotta tell you, the FFLs/dealers I have dealt with in this great state of ours are nothing short of fantastic in terms of working thru the red-tape, regulations and NICS stuff. (Special shout out to Mastodon Ammo & Camo and Lou's Firearms. +10 for both) The de facto waiting period - my last was a calendar week - was annoying as heck, but that is NOT the dealer's fault. I will continue to work with local instate shops because, when the hysteria dies down, I want them to be around. And asking them to push hard against the State is not very fair. Especially for smaller businesses, you do NOT want to raise the ire of your regulators. That is a one way ticket to the 9th Circle of Hell. Just my opinion. Everyone will do what they want to do.

    Ok, I am no expert, but I would not put any of my firearms in water or touch ammonia. Water and metal don't mix well for obvious reasons (rust). Unless you take the gun apart and dry EVERYTHING completely, you may encounter some rusting. Ammonia, I have read can also damage metal. Although some bore solvents have ammonia, my understanding it is different from household ammonia. If you put a little ammonia in a tub full of water, the concentration may be so low as to not cause an issue regarding the ammonia eating your metal.

     

    As for the cleaning part, just soaking in water (or even a commercial gun cleaning solvent), won't necessarily clean the gun. You will probably need to apply some elbow grease. Q-tips, soft cotton cloth, nylon bristle toothbrushes are good to use. In the end, you will need to lubricate your firearm parts. I think here you must bite the bullet and buy gun oil.

     

    Your Kimber manual probably tells you how to clean it. It certainly should tell you how to assemble and disassemble it.

     

    Cheap way to help get the water out your gun is to stick it in rice. That will absorb the water. Then you will need to clean off the starch residue by using a cloth to wipe it down.

     

    With all due respect, the Kimber is a really nice (not cheap) gun, so I would get gun cleaning solvent and oil, q-tips, a kid size soft toothbrush and splurge on a boresnake.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Personally, I am going to buy the firearm I want that complies with current law. There are proposals to limit mags to 10, 7 and 5 rounds. Who know what may happen. If the law changes, folks who do compliance work will be very busy.

    Isn't this just a way to institute a waiting period without having to pass a law? That is effectively what has happened.

     

    Vtecpaochr, I think if you start the NICS check before your 30day OGAM waiting period is up, you risk being rejected. That's what I was told by my LGS.
