Just take a bottle of Windex with you to neutralize all the corrosive salts...hose it down really good, then clean at your leisure. When I say hose it down really good, I mean Windex running out of everywhere...two or three times.

Very nice purchase!
Thing to watch is the 7.62x54 ammo is highly corrosive. It's a must clean after every outing. Like still at the range kinda cleaning.
Just take a bottle of Windex with you to neutralize all the corrosive salts...hose it down really good, then clean at your leisure. When I say hose it down really good, I mean Windex running out of everywhere...two or three times.
Respectfully this is terrible advice. If you must drench your weapon, all you need is water which is what Windex mostly is. There is no reason to have ammonia going into every nook and cranny of the SVD
Also respectfully but don't overthink about cleaning corrosive ammo. I have tried Windex, bathtubs, garden hoses, Hopps #9, hot water, soapy water, cold water, no water, Ballistol, CLP and all the other crazy shit you hear on the Internet
The only thing you need to do is wipe the corrosive residue off the gun. That's it. Anything that can take the residue off the gun takes away the corrosive salts with it...if the gun is clean because all the carbon is gone the salts went with the carbon
I live in wonderfully humid Houston and have been cleaning with only CLP for over 10 years now. That's it...only CLP. No water, no ballistol, nothing. Zero rust on any of my AKs or SVDs
So still respectfully, this isn't rocket science. Clean all the carbon off the weapon because the salts are in the carbon
