Finally got my new LR-308 yesterday. It had a lot of oil from the factory so I tried to wipe it off and only succeeded in ADDING buttloads of lint and fuzz to the rifle making it look even worse. I got the same result using paper towels, clean old cloth diaper, patches, etc. What do you wipe it down with to keep it nice and black? |

Brushes..detail brushes, tooth brushes. Get a few of the finer sized paint brushes. Great for applying oil inside the receiver and on the bcg too. Get a bigger brush with stiffer bristles to get dust, soot, and lint off. edit: those silicon gun cloths are better suited for cleaning guns with blued finishes than these anodized ones. |

I use rags torn from old black T-shirts, and a little 30 weight non-detergent motor oil. The cheap stuff, not synthetic, not Mobil1. The kind of stuff that goes in the lawn mower. Makes for a bit duller finish than what you get with CLP, though I have been known to use CLP internally. Now I am experimenting with Strikehold. I haven't heard much feedback from shooters about Strikehold, my tests indicate it is a very good firearms lube. It stinks, so it has to be good!
