Paolo Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I've heard many mention about cleaning the semi-auto's really well once you take them out of the box. The manufacturing grease is thick and needs to be cleaned. What is the proper way to clean it....should I just get a cloth and wipe down the action? Do I need to disassemble the action fully (firing pin, etc.)? Thanks! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I'f you're comforatble doing so, I recommend a full disassembly, but the bulk of the paking grease is on the externals, so it's not absolutely necessary. I like Hoppes Elite Gun Cleaner for cleaning and conditioning in one step. It also leaves a beautiful finish on black synthetics when applied lightly and buffed out.

I would clean up that packing greese and clean the bolt, ect.... then put a protective coating such as Mpro 7 the clp it works great. I use this as primarily a lube and use the Mpro 7 cleaner for the build up and carbon. This stuff is bio friendly and will not harm your blued weapon.

Paolo Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 I don't feel comfortable taking the FULL gun apart but I will do a good cleaning with just the basic disassembly. Thanks for all the help! You've all been great! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
