Had a few minutes while kids were either napping or playing legos so I decided to pull out the Remington 760 and give it a quick once-over. Been sitting in the safe unused for a long time. 

I has forgotten what a PITA it is to disassemble, especially compared with the AR.  Two-piece carrier with two uncaptured pins 180-degrees apart. FU.  Free “floating” ejection port cover. FU. 

At least it’s cleaned up a bit. It was my late father’s from the 60’s.  

Maybe shoot it more frequently, then you’ll be accustomed to cleaning it... 

jus throwen that out there

Yeah yeah. 

Not with the cost of 257 ammo.

again... jus sayen 

I was comparing the disassembly of the 760 with the AR. Really made me appreciate how easy it is to take down and clean the AR.  

first time I put my 760 back together it took about three hours. 5 minutes to take apart. yup PIA dust cover. it gets easier if you do it a couple of times.

I use a bore snake and wipe down the barrel and receiver with CLP. It is like my Ruger MKI, never disassembled.
