JackDaWack 2,895 Posted May 30, 2018 People are just not intuitive enough. For the that price, you could buy a sonic cleaning tank that would do a full rifle. Then lube it up, that maid service might come in handy here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blksheep 466 Posted May 30, 2018 Ah man. I replace parts on a schedule and clean every so often. Lube yes. Clean.... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blksheep 466 Posted May 30, 2018 The AR is a pretty forgiving platform provided u lube it. It can run really dirty, just not dry. Even with those bullshit coated BCGs. I have had 4000 rounds through my BCM AR with just lube and 0 malfunctions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One was an ex-LE armorer. The other was ex-military and a shooting competitor. I never heard that when I went to the Glock course. They endorsed flushing their guns out with Gun Scrubber then. Over 40 years with the military and over 30 years in law enforcement and I never heard anyone advocate a "full detail strip" on a regular basis. Some guns need some springs replaced periodically. But they all show symptoms before they fail. Even if you know what you're doing and use the right tools the gun will undoubtedly be damaged over repeatedly taking it all apart. Just my experience FWIW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
45Doll 5,877 Posted May 30, 2018 I would agree with you that needlessly detail stripping without a definite reason is probably not a good idea. Glocks not so much, but definitely with Sigs. Driving the roll pins in and out repeatedly only makes them looser. I realized that after learning on the guns in the course (which had been torn down and reassembled who knows how many times). When I came home and took down one of my 220s, a completely different experience. Much tighter all around. Personally I don't do it often. But I know that without any practice at all it's a skill I will eventually lose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blksheep 466 Posted May 30, 2018 Try taking a Colt Armorer's course with guns that have been taken completely down so much that the pins almost completely fall out. Extreme case yes, but relevant. And forget working on burst guns....bro. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny I just copy and pasted that into a text to my wife. She laughed and commented that I’m lying about cleaning my guns. I replied in a perfect world you’d clean those while waiting for my laundry to dry. At that point, based on the response, I may have gone over the line. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capt14k 2,052 Posted May 31, 2018 I would happily pay someone $55 to clean my Enfield No4 Mk2 that I removed from the wrap but haven't touched since.

I taught my youngest to clean my rifles after the range. She still works cheap at $2 per. Though she won't touch the cosmoline covered ones.
