| After a trip to the range how do you clear the lower reciever? Do you tear it all down? |
|
I used to flush out the lower with a mixture of Hoppes #9 and mineral spirits, then set the lower off to the side to dry or blow it out with shop air then re-lube. I’ve steered away from the Hoppes mixture now and went with Break-free Powder Blast. So, next time my lowers internals start looking really bad I’ll hit them with the Powder Blast, then re-lube. I used to flush out the lower after every range session, but that might be over kill. I’m now going with q-tips and CLP after the range, then maybe once or twice a year I’ll flush things out, then re-lube. If the q-tips won’t cut it for some reason, like after a really heavy range session, then I’ll grab the Powder Blast. |

I don't really roll around in the dirt much so my lowers stay fairly clean,I wipe off the outside and add a little lube and I am good to go. Of course when shooting my 9mm Oly or useing the Ceiner all that blowback crud goes right into the triger. I use some brake cleaner to flush most of it out and then re-lube. Sometimes when this doesn't cut it I end up popping out the trigger and doing a complete clean up. |
