Jdkarmy Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Well just took my new M4 out to the indoor range this weekend, will take it outdoors to really put a lot through it soon, shot 50 slugs through without a single hitch or hiccup, ran well and shot accurately. Loving the gun so far, can't wait to get outdoors and really put some rounds through it. While cleaning it today I used a copper brush through the barrel a little too close to my clean rag and a couple other parts and got some oversprayed lead on my bolt and my cleaning rag which then transferred some lead specks onto the outside of my barrel, nothing dire but nonetheless would like to know if theres any way to clean these pesky lead specks off. CLP doesnt seem to be doing the trick and even scraping with my fingernail aint doin the job. Any recommendations on a solvent or process to possibly remove these lead specks? Thanks guys!

Jdkarmy Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Ya I saw that, I see some people saying not to use this type of product on blued finishes or blueing, would the barrel of the M4 and bolt finish be affected by this? Seeing as they are not stainless and do have a finish to them, don't want to make a minor cosmetic issue worse. I was able to get most of it off by just using a toothbrush and clp with some good scrubing however some of the lead specks on the outside of my barrel and bolt are on there pretty good.

Tango two Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) One of the experts will chime in. Did you see this thread? BTW,I know what you're going through, but battle scars are inevitable. Edited February 17, 2013 by Tango two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
