| I just got a new AKM and put 200 rnds of Barnaul FMJ through it. I brought it home, field stipped it and cleaned it. Damn, it was dirty! I cleaned the receiver internals, barrel and gas tube. Actually the internals weren't that dirty but the gas tube was a friggin nightmare to clean. I didn't have any really good way to do it either. So, my question is how far to you experienced darksiders clean your rifle? Do you do like what I did or do you say f*** the gas tube and just clean the receiver internals? Also do you use a nylon bore brush or a metal one? Thanks again. |

NEVER use a steel bore brush! only rarely will you have to use a bronze one. always try to use a nylon bore brush, brass jag and coated rod. the gas tube is easily cleaned with a large cal. pistol brush (nylon!) or shotgun brush. let the solvents do the work...not the brush. |
