<b>Gun Thread: To Clean or Not to Clean [Weasel]</b>

Gun Thread: To Clean or Not to Clean [Weasel]

So what is the very first thing you do when you come home from the range? What's the very most important thing in the whole wide world? The most important thing above all other things? Well for me it sure as hell isn't cleaning guns. When I get home from shooting I generally like to make a sammich, or take a nap, or take the dog for a walk.

Cleaning Ritual
Let's just say that my priorities have changed over time. Where I once spent as much time cleaning guns as I did shooting them, laziness, sloth, a bad attitude, and frankly other interests have changed my post shooting ritual. OK - I'm clearly trying to start a debate, so have at it... but there really isn't a completely right or wrong answer. If you want to extend your "gun time" after shooting, then by all means, get out the Q-Tips, dental picks, and have fun! If you're ready to do something else for the day, then give it a quick wipe down with one of the oily rags you keep by the furnace, and put it away for next time. As long as you are protecting from moisture and rust, and under most normal operating conditions, it's gonna be ok! Some notable exceptions would be a carry gun which should be inspected weekly and cleaned or lubricated as necessary, whenever you're using black powder or corrosive ammunition, and finally in competition guns which are generally cleaned at the end of each match day.

All of my guns are shooters, and generally fall into one of two categories; those that I shoot a lot, and those I don't. The ones in the current rotation get a couple drops of oil or a little grease and a wipe down before and after each time out. The regular shooters might easily go many hundreds of rounds before I perform anything close to a thorough cleaning. The ones I don't shoot very often get a little more attention and a pass with a barrel brush plus a light coat of oil inside and out before I put them away. I almost never perform a cleaning at the molecular level anymore and don't think I have even come close to having any firearm malfunction as a result.

Again, if your dad, or you granddad, or a friendly drill instructor in the Army or Marines taught you a certain procedure or frequency that you are now accustomed to, then keep doing what makes you happy. And for the super-advanced level lazy people who never, ever clean their guns, that probably isn't a great idea either. So in summary, something between *never* and *all the time* is probably about the right cleaning frequency.

Cleaning Products

Which gun care products to use is just as subjective as how often to use them. Whatever the reason, everyone has their favorite and swears by it. As with any other hobby (fishing, boating and golf come to mind) the minute you identify a particular application for anything the price goes up about 12 times. I really, really like saving money by finding alternative products that work just as well as the specialized products you simply can't live without according to the manufacturer.

Here is some of what I use

I like the way Hoppes 9 smells and it does a great job cleaning. Synthetic 5W-30 motor oil protects my car's engine so I suspect it will do the same for guns. A quart of oil is a lifetime supply, costs less than $10, and it's what my gunsmith uses. Kroil is another favorite used when I'm going to put a gun away for some time. TW25B synthetic grease has always worked well for me and comes in either a syringe or tube for precise application to slide rails and bolt locking lugs. I use a slightly thicker grease on my Garands. Not pictured is Ballistol a just all around great product with countless uses. Seriously, if you aren't familiar with Ballistol, check it out.

The general rule I follow is: If it turns, oil it. If it slides, grease it.

Oil vs. Grease

One note on the link - while poking around for links to use in this thread, I couldn't find much that seemed even remotely objective. Understanding that machines and firearms often have different requirements, this article at least offers the reader an examination of the potential pro and cons of each. Have a look and decide for yourself!

***This Old Gun***

U.S. Army Air Service Commemorative Savage .32

Now how cool is this?

This week's Old Gun comes to us from retropox. A WWI commemorative for a pilot, engraved and gold filled; “AEF 1918” and “Flying Captain J. A. E“ on slide, and ‘Calamity’ on the rear strap of the frame. The lanyard, silver oil bottle, and collar insignia are all 1918 vintage, while the ammo is modern. A truly remarkable and lovingly assembled collection - thanks for sharing retropox!

9 I clean my Eastern Bloc stuff immediately. I actually spray it down at the range with the windexish stuff.

The guns shooting the cleaner American ammo get cleaned when I feel like it. Every 3-5 trips to the range or sooner if they are going to be laid up in ordinary, as it were. or if they malf.

Speaking of oiling...

I'm gonna have a mechanic undercoat my car this week.

Today's "rust-proofing" is just an oily substance sprayed onto your cars under-bits and inside the crevices. Lasts about a year.

But if you live anywhere where they Salt the roads, it's a Must Do.

24 Just discovered the Hi-Point 4095 .40 caliber carbine. I might be in love. Please don't tell the wife.

I was looking to maximize my ammo. Since I have two .40 caliber pistols resting at the bottom of the lake, I thought a nice carbine should join them.

I expect to see it peaking out behind the Christmas tree this year.

I think they're a steal at $15.

35 Check out Drudge -- massive red headlines saying ANOTHER woman is coming out of the woodwork to accuse Kavanaugh of something sexual.

The Dems are making this nomination their hill to die on.

All of this theater for the sole purpose of trying to frighten three wishy-washy Senators into changing their votes, based on media narratives about how "most" Americans now want Kavanaugh out.

If those three Senators don't cave, then the Dems WILL die on this hill.

Will they cave? Civilization's fate is in their hands.

P.S. -The new allegations somehow involve a "dildo," and the accuser is again a well-documented lib activist.

It's basically food grade mineral oil. Hickock45 touts it. The recommended usage sounds crazy but you mix it 10 parts or so of water to one part oil, when you spray it on the water carries to oil into all the cracks and crevices.

I'm using about 6-1 though. And leaving things in a warm environment. The idea of intentionally sending water into seams is bothersome but then I clean my Russian stuff with boiling water so what do I know.

63 Another "clean or not clean" sub-argument.

It hinders accuracy. A clean gun, a really clean gun, isn't quite as accurate generally. I dunno about the Match Grade guns at Camp Perry, but laboriously scrubbing out the barrel so it's whizzy clean, it's going to need several rounds through it before it will settle in again. IMO

70 A great gun lubricant is sperm whale oil. Brownells used to sell it, but I guess Greenpeace bitched about it. You might be able to get some from indigenous folks who can still whale. The beauty of it is it doesn't varnish over time and doesn't congeal in extreme cold. Used to be used in all sorts of precision applications such as instruments, gyros.

85 I've got one of those Savage .32s in my safe at home. No where near as cool as the one in this thread, and no magazine. Mine was found in the side pocket of my grandfather's recliner when he passed away, along with $10,000 cash and about the same in US Savings bonds. He didn't trust banks.

While he was still alive, in the late 70s, he gave my dad the Garand he carried in the Pacific, along with a shoe box full of loaded en bloc clips, bayonet, and a bunch of ammo. My dad sold it after he found out that age and improper storage had warped the barrel. It probably only had a few hundred rounds through it total.

89 I shot my FAL yesterday and the new eyes are good. I was kind of freaking out at first because I wasn't coming close with the tac scope on where before it was like nothing to ring the steel at 300. So I dropped down to look under the scope and was nailing it with the irons even though the scope mount mostly obscures the front sight, the pin being just >< below the hole in the mount.

It turns out that mount screws had loosened and the scope wasn't zeroed any more.

Very good point! A clean barrel alters the point of impact slightly. That's why you always take a few fouling shots before the first match of the day. I know that for my mid-range gun it takes 2 foulers to bring the impact to center from high/right.

92 With modern guns using that new-fangled smokeless powder I clean when in the mood although I do wipe down the exterior after getting home from the session. But when I clean, I do so thoroughly. I find Hoppe's number 9, Rem-oil or Mobil One, and silicon grease take care of 99 percent of my cleaning and lubing needs. (Fortunately, Mrs. JTB likes the aroma of Hoppe's.)

Black powder guns get a quick swab and wipe down at the range and get cleaned carefully within 24 hours. All I need to clean the BP guns is water. The lubing is the sameas above. I do use Renaissance Wax on the metal and wood exteriors. It really does protect well.

If I haven't shot the BP rifles in a while I run a dry patch down the bore and oil again as needed. I also make sure the grease on the arbor of the cap and ball revolvers hasn't hardened and that the cylinders spin easily.

Big fan of Kroil for bore cleaning. CLP for oil-appropriate areas. For grease on my pistolas, I use Slide-Glide for virtually everything. The exception is my High Power, which gets Bike Grease 2000. It's thicker than the Slide-Glide, and really smooths out the action nicely. Unfortunately, the BG2000 doesn't work well on other pistols in my experience, tends to slow the slide down too much. But with the BHP using a rather stiff recoil spring (I'm using a Wolff 18.5 lb, rather than the stock 17 lb) it doesn't lock the gun up, and it'll digest pretty much any ammo I feed it, even if it's a bit out of spec.

108 Don't forget MMO - that marvelous mysterious oil.

Also - if you like saving money compared to buying overpriced boutique wanker products check out Ed's Red.

1 part Kerosene
1 part Turpentine (Ok to sub with Varsal, stoddard solvent, etc)
1 part ATF
1 part Acetone

Optional - add 1 pound anhydrous lanolin to the warmed mixture. This makes it both a cleaner and preservative.

109 My cleaning routines have already changed a little, after not that many years of gunnin'.

Pretty much follows Weasel's pattern, and guidelines.

Only corrosive ammo I shoot (technically, hydrophilic primer residue) is surplus Soviet 54R, so the Mosins get boiling water down the pipe when I get home - then regular cleaning. Living in typically dry SoCal, I can take liberties even with that situation - I'm sure all gun maintenance is a bit more challenging in humid climes.

Frequently shot handguns get a wipe-down, and a bore-snake (Under Fire is buying some cheap Chinese made bore-snakes, and will hopefully some day provide a review).

1911 gets detail strip and full cleaning about every 1,000 rounds or so. Partly for fun and ritual. Plus I shoot lead, so the lube does create a gawdawful mess over time.

About to buy more punches as I'm thinking of detail stripping my XD9. It's never been anything but field stripped and cleaned - must have close to 20K rounds thru it, if not more.

That reminds me. I bought a .22 upper from Palmetto and the mags I bought with it all mangle and jam up the last round. Not just jam up but literally fold the cartridge in half up in the bolt such that I have to unlatch the upper and get at it with a knife or pliers. All three of the mags do this.

And back to gunnzzz.

Products - CLP for quick cleaning/wipe-downs of all guns, and for all parts when I disassemble the 1911; Butch's Boreshine for M-1 bores, Mosin bores, occasionally M-1 carbine bores. Navy SEAL friend gave me some Frog lube/cleaner - will use it up, it's fine, smells like candy of some kind.

For lube oil, CLP or one of the little old household oil cans I found in the garage, which date back to my yute (and my oldest brother, the gun guy). Guess when those finally run out, years from now, I'll buy some motor oil!

Kroil I use to break stuck screws, bolts, etc. Tried it once in my saga of trying to clean up the Mosin bores, didn't seem to do much (have also used JB paste, and electronic bore cleaning, all to little effect).

Grease - just about out of that red gun grease that comes in the small syringe, when it's gone I'll switch over to the white lithium grease from the auto store that I use on the Garands.

A great gun lubricant is sperm whale oil. Brownells used to sell it, but I guess Greenpeace bitched about it. You might be able to get some from indigenous folks who can still whale. The beauty of it is it doesn't varnish over time and doesn't congeal in extreme cold. Used to be used in all sorts of precision applications such as instruments, gyros.
Posted by: bill in arkansas at September 23, 2018 07:34 PM (xzqr4)

If memory serves, ATF is largely just a synthetic sperm oil substitute.

And virtually every indoor gun range I've heard of uses ATF as their lubricant for the rental guns. Cheap, effective and easily available.

137 I do a few things that make cleaning guns easier. Most of my shooting is with cast bullets and I tumble lube them with Lee liquid alox diluted with liquid floor wax. The result is a VERY thin coating I let dry before reloading. I can't remember the last time I had leading in the barrel.

For muzzleloaders I use loading patches lubed with Hoppe's 9 Plus, which is intended for use with black powder guns. It keeps fouling soft and easy to clean out.

151 Re-purposing and improvising is one of the joys of gunzzz and reloading.

Right now I've got 30-06 cases tumbling in "lizard litter" walnut shells from the pet store, with used dryer sheets and mineral spirits, and a liquid car wax, added. Works like a charm. Actually aside from the press, and the dies, and of course components, almost everything I use in reloading is re-purposed everyday household stuff.

For cleaning handgun bores for lead build-up, I use Chore-Boy all-copper scouring pads cut up and wrapped around old bore brushes of the appropriate caliber. Works like a charm. I actually have that lead cleaning kit with the brass patches, but haven't used it in a long time. Only use it now to clean the forcing cone on the Model 66, where its cone-shaped attachment works so well.

Don't shoot lead in the snub noses (both semi-collectibles that I kinda shoot, a little).

175 There were a few comments on Hi Points earlier. I know a guy who has three 9mm carbines. He and his sons use them for pig hunting, and they shoot the hell out of them at their backyard range. I traded one of the carbines to him a few years ago, and all three are the old style without the rails and stuff. Now he and his sons put thousands of rounds through them, like most people would with a .22. All kinds of cheap ammo and reloads. His cleaning procedure is to box it up, ship it to Hi Point with a note concerning malfunctions, and he gets it back factory clean with a complimentary magazine in a few weeks. He's done it a few time.

181 CLP has a "COL" version that I think just moves/migrates less, so suitable for long-term storage (think COL is for "collectors"). I use it to wipe down the Mosins and Garands and the real carbine once in a while, and the more valuable stuff I don't shoot much.

It's true about special product prices, but a bottle of CLP lasts me about 6 years, so cost is kind of a non-factor there.

185 Ed's Red recipe I posted earlier is based on an old Frankford Arsenal recipe by Hatcher. ATF subs for the whale oil.

When I was in the .mil we used 5606 hydraulic fluid both internally and wiping down aircraft struts as I recall. Or the other one, the nomenclature escapes me now that I'm 29. In spray bottles. During air 60 ranges everybody would spray the bolt down with it, as it was handy. It's basically ATF. Any oil is better than no oil at some point.

188
As far as after-range ritual cleaning, the M39 gets the bore and boltface wiped down with ammonia and then CLP, everything else gets a cursory wipedown with CLP and a quick toothbrushing of the extractor.

My carry gun gets the full cleaning every time I fire it.

I probably do a full cleaning at around 500-800 rounds but that's pretty haphazard, to be honest.

I have boresnakes, but I rarely use them. As far as I'm concerned they're really only useful for reducing the amount of gunk in the barrel. After you've used it once, you're just running a dirty swab down the barrel (y'all ARE washing them in soapy water on a regular basis right? Yeah, neither do I.). Great for quick work to keep a fighting gun running during combat, but not so much for actual cleaning.

As I said, and like Weasel, my cleaning has moderated/changed to a more selective pattern.

Cannot recall ever having a cleaning/fouling-related function problem, which obviously is the limiting condition.

Related - I don't take the Garand receivers out of their stocks any more than needed, which so far I have deemed almost never. They've got beautiful GI wood stocks, the lock-up seems good - but it only gets less good with the in/out of the receiver. One M-1 has only been taken out of its stock once since I got it from CMP and of course did the total disassembly/cleaning, the other one has never been out since I got it and cleaned it up.

Liars and high school parties and dildos ... Oh My. This crap is hurting the left. They are desperate not just to stop Kavanaugh, but to stop the rest of the stuff ... declassified things lead to exposure of the coup, and remember,

Lindsay Graham went into detail about military tribunals, without trying to point to people that actually join al Qaeda. His statements related more directly to pricks like Kerry going to enemy Iran and conspiring with them.

I have no special intel, but that was one strong indicator. Billions on pallets to Iran to help them build nukes and/or kill our troops via terror ... no small deal.

They make foot long 'q-tips' now that are really handy.
Posted by: Lancelot Link Secret Agent Chimp at September 23, 2018 08:02 PM (2DOZq)

I usually grab a pack of those at Fry's Electronics whenever I have to go up and get supplies for the techs at work. The little bamboo stick is stiffer than the paper Q-tip shaft, so it works a lot better for scrubbing. Plus, you can snap a piece off so that it makes a semi-soft pick that's good for scraping carbon out of nooks and crannies without scratching the finish.

Posted by: rhomboid at September 23, 2018 08:11 PM (QDnY+)

I really like the idea of the 1911 in .380. .380 is a reasonable cartridge for social engagements and in something the size of a Colt Officer's Model, would be ideal for people who have issues with recoil. I can't really think of any other .380s with any weight to them; they're always little pocket guns which doesn't help in that application.

One more great thing about CZ, as a company, FYI. They pay to keep even some of their out-of-production guns on the CA roster. One of the only companies that does. Even if their products hadn't already cemented my interest and loyalty, that sort of stuff would go a long way.

Plus, after pulling out 6 or 7 firearms and spending the day at the range with family, I don't much feel like spending a couple hours cleaning after I get home. So, in the course of a week or two, things get done.

313 Ballistol is really good stuff, it was developed originally for use with black powder arms, but it works just as well with nitro powder.
I was told the Bundeswehr still uses it on their light machine guns.

If you spill it in your range bag in your car, the car will smell like spoiled milk for about a week and then clear up. It won't stain the bag or the floor mat. I know this from experience.

Now, I was introduced early to CLP, and that stuff gets everywhere and is toxic. However it cleans everything, and puts down a good film of oil to protect the metal. It also will stain your range bag and the upholstery if you spill it in the car, and the smell stays forever.

My other dodge is to use baby wipes. They clean, they are white to be able to figure out if you got all the fouling, they are absorbent for oils, they are cheap, they tear easily to useful size, and they are sturdy enough to put on a jag and run through a bore.

Just don't use the flushable ones since whatever they use to keep the cotton lint cohesive in a sheet is apparently destroyed by oil and alcohol, and then you got useless cotton paste everywhere.

My Dad was a Staff Sergeant in a line outfit who saw a lot of combat, so you know there were never any dirty weapons in our house. Come back in wet, tired and dirty??

You took care of the gear FIRST--and he'd look at it before you were let go.

One of our first shirts had a saying regarding your gear--"You take real good care of your stuff, or some day your stuff would take care of you real good."

So my shit is ALWAYS ready.

323 Mike Hammer, that aptly sums up my cleaning pattern as well. With the occasional full disassembly of the 1911 (and, soon, first-time ever for the XD).

Posted by: rhomboid at September 23, 2018 08:30 PM (QDnY+)

324 Overcleaning screws more weapons than not cleaning. I shoot a metric fuckton of ammo in everything from WWI bolt actions to AR's to full auto GPMG. All I use is CRC Long Life and sometimes CLP. Also boiling water for older surplus ammo. Hose the hell out of the bang stick after a range day with Long Life, put away and all good till next time. For AR's sometimes 3000 rds between a proper clean.

325 When I was hunting a lot (before the knees started
having serious conversations with me) I would carry a rag soaked in oil
in a .177 pellet can. After a day of rain or whatever, I'd have
something to wipe off the outside of the gun. Still keep one in my
cleaning kit. Also, I remember a gunsmith in Ohio who maintained that
the majority of his repair work (or reassembly) was from over zealous
cleaning.

Posted by: bill in arkansas at September 23, 2018 08:25 PM

Yep. The same gunsmith I talked to above said he gets lots of "bag guns" to repair. People take them down and clean them when they don't have a clue what they are doing and wind up with a bag of parts they don't know how to put back together again.

He called them bag guns because people brought them to him in a bag and asked him to put them back together again.

342 It helps to know what things are for, and what they are good for perhaps outside their intended purpose. WD40 is analogous or close to Kerosene.

It makes a perfectly suitable gun _cleaner_ to remove powder residue and sludge and dirt. It would be a poor choice for ling term preservative, but better than nothing, in a corrosive environment. The cork sniffers always hate WD40 no matter what. It works great in old school volume controls and pots. It is a lousy penetrating oil compared with say, Liquid Wrench. Etc.

The FEGs. Don't have any personal experience with them, but they're rumored to be perfectly good guns, if a touch rough.

My BHP is a '93 or so Mark 3 with the ambi safety levers. I swapped the grips for cocobolos from CDNN, night sights, and I pulled the useless magazine interlock so that the trigger is usable. Added a bit of skateboard tape to the front strap since the smooth frame tends to slip a bit in the hand. Got it for about $480 about 15 years ago.

I think those burning the codes and taking down the flag on Kav should sit back and wait a bit. If this idiot appears Thurs., it'll be a train-wreck for her and the Dems. It already is.

There's no rush. Kav will participate in the fall term of the court, even if he's confirmed Oct. 3 or something. Senate is not going Dem. PDT will have at least one and probably 2 more appointments.

GOP wants this guy. When they want something, they do what's needed. Hence - we still have O-care (despite what Trump says), and no border wall, and constant attempts to increase H-1Bs, etc. Like I said - what they *want*, they act on ..... and the opposite. They want Kav.

I'm not saying it will outright hurt it, its that there isn't anything WD-40 can do for a gun that something else couldn't do better. It's barely a cleaner, not a lubricant, and not a protector. I don't think there's any in the house because there's already Deoxit, Break-free, 40-weight synthetic, lithium grease, silicone grease, and Hoppes #9 and Hoppes oil.

So with Trump, it may be a little of that as well. These globalists are turning America into a shit-hole ... and the masses, even those dirtier masses, don't want America destroyed and turned into China, or some globalist shit-hole.

It might be some that have made massive money from leveraged gambling in stocks, even they see the writing on the wall if the real nasty side of globalism manages to control our government. They have seen the dark side of DeepState and love their stock profits, but see evil and corruption destroying everything.

Kreplach, I'm gonna assume you are using "precedent" in a general, not legal sense, but no, nothing this committee or any other committee does now - or two years ago - sets any meaningful "precedent" or binds them to do, or not do, anything.

As I said above, the implosion of Ford and the silliness of the "new" accusations, which will be forgotten in a few days, and the attendant political damage for the Dems, will serve as a robust deterrent to repetition.

540 I though cert petitions (requests for SCOTUS to hear cases) were dealt with prior to a term, so that fall term cases would already be known?

Appropriations. Brutally shortened and simplified.

GOP (with Dem support, in this there is only one party) has managed to avoid, for the 9th year, politics in politics, by not having major approps bills, with their important/controversial provisions, voted on singly, to be signed/vetoed singly.

There is a "mini-bus" - 3 approps bills passed together, already done, likely to be signed. Military construction, veterans' affairs, and ..... legislative ops (yes, Congress' pay and budget!). Savor the political expediency of that package.

That leaves 9 other bills, including all the big ones. These might also be grouped in little packages, not yet certain.

Bottom line: Trump has never, contrary to much good advice, laid down the law on not signing omnibus bills, or long-term CRs, a move that would do much to restore presidential power and esp. restore politics to politics in Congress (people taking big votes and paying the price at election time).

Per comment above, he made the right noises a few months ago. He has lately made the wrong noises (i.e., no effort to make all Dems and some GOPers walk the plank on yuuuge things like wall funding).

Many people are losing their s**t, almost surely without cause, over delay in Kav's confirmation. The real angst should be that Trump's agenda remains greatly hobbled and blocked by the lack of *GOP* support and action - and we're in a mid-term where NONE of this has been made a factor.

Intelligent citizens remain trapped. Allow the racist-authoritarian nutcases back into power, or keep the mostly useless GOP in power.

But you know for damn sure that the Democrats will use this as the template going forward and why shouldn't they.

They have been able to muscle and outmaneruver the committee and GOP at every turn on this.

All one has to do is read the pathetic exchanges between Ford's lawyer and the GOP's lawyers to get a flavor of how easily the GOP was bullied and pushed around.

What the GOP has allowed to happen is a travesty and mockery of the confirmation process.

570 I have a few 45ACP cases with WWII govt. arsenal head-stamps - almost worn off - that I still use.

But that's a low-pressure caliber, and the case is easily examined for flaws.

I see no reason to use a WWII 30-06 case, unless somehow you know it's only once-fired. Much different pressure/failure considerations there. And most failures with such cases (I believe, Weasel and others help me out here) occur from flaws/stresses that are not always obvious in external inspection (hence the drill of straightening a paper clip and feeling along inside the case for a "ring" of raised metal).

I figured something like this might happen. This is why you never delay (these nomination hearings take too long), and why Amy Coney Barrett would have been the best choice.

Not because I believe any of this crap against Kavanaugh, but because I have so little faith in the GOP Senate to be able to stand strong against crappy Saul Alinsky nonsense like this. Watch this will happen allover again a week from now, and again a week later, until election day or Kavanaugh quits. Each time the GOPe will punt like they always do and another delay will happen.

I used to binge drink back in the day, 35 years or so ago. I can actually remember quite clearly "questionable" events. None quite of this nature or degree, but I can remember events (like a specific girl who was also drunk trying to kiss me when I was basically passed out on her floor - before I drove home-not proud of that) when I was seeing double vision and was likely .2 or so BAC. Bedspins, double vision, didn't even know what major street I was on at the time (that I was on virtually every day drove 30 minutes to make an otherwise 5 minute dive, was lost --again not proud at all). But being that drunk I remember the kiss deal 100%.

So I don't remotely by this BS. Eve a little. Their own psychological issues is the most charitable excuse I can have.

617 The case head separation is a little bit complicated, but the metal actually begins to flow when the cartridge is fired. If you find a case where the case head is near separation, you will find a corresponding 'donut' of accumulated metal inside just under the case neck/shoulder junction. Sometimes the first sign of separation is not being able to seat a bullet due to the accumulation of metal. You may also notice a shiny ring on the outside near the base where the stretching has occurred.

True, but it will not have the force of "virtue signalling" that a certain segment of the GOP in congress melt every time over. Saying unfounded bad things about a woman nominee will make them feel like "white knights" when they defend her.

In other words the Dems will do the same, but the GOPe will behave differently in the case of a woman nominee.

Not stupid at all. If there isn't any sign of splitting on the exterior, use a small pick or bent paperclip to feel around on the inside near the base. If you don't feel a groove indicating an impending case head separation, then it should be fine.
Brass becomes brittle the more it's worked (sized) and without annealing it will eventually crack.

It doesn't fucking matter how "intelligent" anyone is.

If somebody wants to fight you ... you'll either fight or lose.

That's what you're seeing in DC - and that's what you'll continue to see.

Things get to a point where you can't talk, or think, yourself out of a fight.

But you can talk and think to yourself all day long about how it was better to take that ass-whippin'.

It's pretty obvious that the GOPe opposes the Trump agenda.

Would they throw an election to thwart him and conservative voters? I think the answer is obviously yes.

Do they comprehend what insane hate-filled traitorous rageholics the Democrats have become, and what it would mean for the country if they ever got power again?

I am afraid of the answer to that question.

And man the M-1 just beats the bejeesus out of the brass. I probably spend 30% of the entire reloading process for that caliber just filing down dents and gouges to the extraction groove so that damn case will fit in the case-holder on the press.

Roy Moore was the opening shot. This proves the tactic. It's simply finding lefty women willing to go on camera, because no one will ever make them pay for lying nor accuse them of lying because of #metoo. Democrats couldn't have scripted this any better.

University professors - real ones, at major research universities - work pretty hard, far harder than 40 hours a week, so feather the "don't work" shit, OK? And undergraduates don't teach anything; graduate students teach recitation sections, i.e., basically tutorial help.

Now those "professors" at what are obviously diploma mills are another story entirely.

If I'm shooting old commie surplus berdan primed ammo, I clean it after I'm done shooting to prevent corrosion. The hot water down the barrel, to remove the salts followed by normal cleaning.

If its boxer primed I don't clean it until its really dirty. A dirty gun, in my experience , is more accurate. The dirt holds the bullet in place.

805 The Vatican has provisionally signed a treaty with the Chinese government letting that government choose bishops for the Church in China.

We had the HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR on his knees in the snow for three days over this. And they roll over for the CHICOMS? I'm not sure I know what the Church is doing these days.

I'm sure it also requires breaking relations with the ROC. Does this give the PRC the right to name bishops in the ROC as well?

806 800 I clean after every range session. Bench rest shooters clean after every relay - roughly every 15 rounds. A clean gun shoots better and with a BR rifle or a 1,000 yard gun you can tell.

Yep. I omitted the benchrest discussion, but I clean my long range guns after each match.

807 775 NZFrank - it apparently wasn't that difficult to get M-1s to be as accurate as they were intended to be, judging by the dead Fritzes and Yoshis a few years back.

Minute of male torso @ 100 yds. Done.

Oh I appreciate all the advantages given the period it was introduced and especially the minute of body reality, but bugger me dead they are very challenging to get to shoot better than that and stay in a good tune. That's one reason why I like to point out the problems, rather than bow before the M1 pedestal. OK to good/average battle rifle, not the Fist of God. I do own one of those rifles BTW.

808 Speaking of little arms, my sister teaches young kids. To prevent them from flailing around smacking each other while they're waiting in line, she calls out, "Everybody, T. Rex arms!" while she makes tiny motions with her hands at her shoulders. It makes them giggle and sometimes they remember not to whack each other.

809 803 I was always taught weapon cleaning is two fold; to remove barrel fouling and to check for damaged parts. You don't want to find out you have a failing part in a firefight.

The man has no discernible neck, how can you respect a man with no neck?

You can't, so no one does.

I especially thought it was priceless that McCain, Ceaser like, registered his nay vote on ObamaCare repeal with a emphatic thumbs down, right in Mitch McConnels stupid Fucking face as he stood there slack jawed with saliva dripping from the corner of his drooping maw, powerless to do anything but shrug.

Mr. Hoover taught me everything I know. I admit he liked brighter shades than I do, I'm a Winter with my coloring, but Lord did he know how to do straight seams on his stockings. It's a lost art.

824 Back when I was a very good service rifle competitor in WI in the late 90's (before I turned 40 and the eyes objected to seeing a fuzzy 600 yard target behind a well-focused front sight) my world class gunsmith taught that the purpose of cleaning was to return the rifle to an "acceptable level of filth."

825 Damn it, missed the thread

And damn it, had to work this weekend, so no range visit!

I did get a damn fine deal on some IMI 124gr Di-cut 9mm ammo.

So...buy ammo, from SGAmmo if you don't have a good online retailer of choice.

And, no, I don't clean my guns right away. My favorite guns run good, dirty. Like the XD9 and the Glocks.

826 "So what is the very first thing you do when you come home from the range?"

Wash my hands and my face with soap and hot water. Why? Get all the lead residue off my most exposed surfaces.

Then, and only then, do I think about doing something else.

827 Reminds me of one on THE TREE STOOGES where they end up on German ship during WW II they make themselves as German sailors curly is told to clean out a gun and he fills it full on beans

828 This brings back memories of ROTC camp in 1962. Our platoon commander wanted CLEAN guns. So the guys would carefully scrub the recoil mechanism of our M-1 rifles with hot water and soap. Result?
With no oil the rifles jammed, as a result of metal to metal friction.
Kind of messed up our exercises.
But those rifles were clean, baby!

829 WD-40 is a good solvent for grease and works fine for cleaning a gun. It displaces water if you're out in the bush and get caught in the rain. I use various gun oils and greases on the moving parts after cleaning.

More recently I started using automotive Mequiar's G36516 Paint Protectant on the non-moving parts like the barrel and outside of the action. This is a clear pink liquid. (Disclosure: another division where I work sells the stuff.) Actually I use a lot more on the bare aluminum parts I use at work. It keeps my hands from getting black from the gamma aluminum oxide. On my car water beads up and rolls off unlike some Carnumba waxes that make the water bead up but stick leaving little dried rings. By the way, the purpose of bluing or parkerizing a gun is to create a more porous surface than bare metal to hold the oils and greases we use to prevent corrosion.
