How often (if ever) do you remove and clean the ejector, bolt ejector port, and ejector spring? I've never taken the bolt down that far, and am wondering if it is necessary (or at any "per round" intervals). The only maintenance I've done on the ejector has been to soak it with Slip EWL and work it in and out with a cloth covered pin punch to soak up the carbon.

I tear mine down every time I clean and I shoot and clean a lot.
I don't think it's necessary though. I think it would perform even if I didn't. I just like them clean so I do it. It doesn't add much cleaning time. Edited to add: If you use air to blow stuff out, be careful not to blow the spring (or o-ring) off to never never land. I speak from experience.

I was speaking about the extractor, of course. Thanks again. |
) never saw anyone take the bolt down that far.
