Taking USMCs challenge/idea of a firearm related something content lol.
So boys n girls, maybe some ideas on how to and what you like to use to scrub up your babies..
1st off, i'm the kinda guy who cleans everything soon as i return from a range or even if i just shot couple magazines in a State forest..i put my little spare kitchen table underneath 4 bright flourescent lights in the basement so i have good airflow and it doesn't reek up my house. I pretty much clean in order i shot lol hanguns first then longs then shotties, probably the self diagnosed OCD in me lol. Yes as GS pointed out in a prior pic, i use thin cheap rubber gloves too. I stay old school with Hoppes 9 and Hoppes oil too, it's just what ive been using for the past 20 years and still have no rust and no issues, so i stay with it. I also don't use a snake, i #9 everything then get in all the nooks and crannys with the nylon and reg stiff toothbrushes..as it sits for a tad i do another..i do the basic bore cleaning til patches are white again..then all excess is wiped off and on to the oil..i oil almost everywhere and everything, then i gently dab off the outer parts so it's not such a stinky, wet gun that goes into my night stand or holster the next morning. I do give a slight drop or two into all my magazine springs and work it in by pushing the spring down to max then up and down again to keep them in tip top shape. All in all it's usually a 2 or more hour process with 6 to 8 or so firearms that i regulary bring.
What might be some of your guys ways to share??
