I want to put some Fireclean on them this weekend but I need to degrease them. How should I do that? Warm soapy water (what kind of soap)or would something like Spray 9 be ok?
Thanks guys

There is nothing better than mineral spirits, also known as paint thinner. Buy it at WalMart. It is cheap and does an excellent job without being dangerous to handle.

Thanks guys Fireclean works great. Got it on Wednesday, and used it on all my ARs.. They have never been so smooth.. I degreased them with 90% alcohol |

More here: Degreasing a Firearm Thank you O_P. To the guy that said he used Fireclean. I went to the range a couple weeks ago and cycled a bolt on a colt and WOW. I know what you are taking about with it being smooth. I even locked the bolt back and stuck a finger in it and the carbon and powder just wiped away. The stuff is awesome and I can't wait to put it on mine. |
