| I'm having a lot of trouble cleaning up the polymer coating left behind after shooting 100 rounds of wolf. So far I've tried Hoppes No. 9 and Breakfree CLP, but I still cant get all that crap off. Is there any great-and-wonderful way to clean this stuff up? |
| Don’t quote me, but I believe the Wolf Polymer was designed to not leave behind the chamber residue that was left behind by using the lacquer coated Wolf ammo. If your concerned about cleaning your chamber, search the Maintenance and Cleaning forums back pages. Cleaning of the chamber has been covered as of recent. |

This myth of a "coating" being left behind was busted a long time ago. It was found that because the steel case does not expand as much as a brass case when fired. By not expanding, carbon blow back occurs and what you see in the chamber is carbon, not lacquer or polymer. What you see on the bolt face, the trigger area and mag well is the residue of the red primer sealant mixed with carbon. Get your GI chamber brush, use your favorite cleaning solution and use some elbow grease. That is all that is needed. |
