Is it best to remove any optics for cleaning your rifle? I just put an Eotech 512 on my M&P15 and I was wondering if I should remove it every time I clean my rifle or if it is okay to leave it on.
Will removing it and replacing it often wear on the mounting hardware? Will it affect my zero? It is just mounted directly to the flat top receiver on my M&P. I am just wondering what you guys do when cleaning your AR's that have similar optics. |
| If I'm cleaning and my optic doesn't have quick release/return to zero capabilities, I just zip-tie one of those gallon size ziplock bags around my optic until I'm done cleaning. I've never had any cleaning solvents/lubricants get on my optics while doing this. YMMV. |
