carolyn 3 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hey guys I am about to buy a Psl from aimsurplus.com and I have currently read that you cannot shoot heavy ball in it. Unfortunately all my stock pile consist of 149 grain Russian ammo and Barnaul .203 grain softpoint ammo. I would like to shoot the light ball in it but I am paranoid about cleaning the corrosive salts out. Sure I can use Windex on the barrel the receiver, bolt, and springs but do I have to break down the bolt each time and remove the firing pin too or can I just wipe down the bolt face. The main point of my post however is to see if you guys know anything about this gas block http://www.copesdistributing.net/product_info.php?products_id=1336. I read about it but am unsure if it allows you to shoot heavy ball in the rifle. I already have a garand and the new gas block I bought for that allows me to shoot my 220 grain reloads, do you guys know if this is anything like that. Thanks for your help Kira.

saigafreake 27 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 from what ive read it will let you shoot everything from subsonic loads upto the heavy ball loads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waltham_41 52 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 I have shot corrosive through my PSL for years now with no ill effect. Clean it good with hoppes #9 and then if you have a chrome barrel remove the hoppes because it can cause flaking in the chrome. The only time I ever took my bolt apart was when I had a pierced primer and gasses went back into the bolt. Other than that I just do a thorough cleaning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
