G O B 3,516 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 A light coat of oil (preferably synthetic) on everything except the gas piston/regulator piston. Those should be wiped dry or molly coated. G O B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J A 0 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 (edited) I clean,lubricate,and protect all my firearms with CLP. Below is the easiest way I have found to clean AK type rifles or any other firearm. Contrary to what most people believe about leaving the gas system dry. Coating the gas piston,gas tube,and gas block with CLP allows the mircoscopic size particles of PTFE(Teflon) in it to get into the pores of the metal. This keeps the fouling from sticking to the metal as tight just like the teflon coating does on a non stick frying pan. The Teflon particles in the CLP provide all the lubrication a firearm needs. Just remember to shake the bottle well before using it to get the teflon which settles to the bottom mixed in good. Go to Wal-mart and get from these depts. Sporting goods dept. A pump spray bottle of Break-Free CLP www.break-free.com/ A 30cal and a 20 gauge bore brushes Automotive dept. A can of brake parts cleaner A set of brushes or brush with brass or steel brissles. like this www.woodcarvingstore.com/RotaryToolAccessories/CleaningBrushes.asp Housewares dept. roll of paper towels Drug dept. A new tooth brush. When you get home swap out you new tooth brush for you old one.Spray down all the parts of your rifle with CLP and let it sit for 15 minuites. Use your old tooth brush to scrub the inside of the receiver and parts. Use the brass/steel brush on the gas piston. It will take several applications of CLP and scrubbing to get heavy amounts of carbon off the gas piston. A wire wheel in a electric drill can be used to cut down on the amount of scrubbing needed. Use the 30cal brush on the bore and the 20 gauge brush on the gas tube/gas block. Once clean put 4 paper towels in the bottom of the bag you brought the stuff home from Wal-mart in. Hold the parts over the bag and use the brake parts cleaner to rinse everything off. Brake parts cleaner removes everything and leaves no residue. Spray a 4"x4" piece of rag and one patch with CLP. Rub the rag on every part inside and out to lube/protect it and run the patch through the bore. Put the rag and patch in a zip lock bag to use the next time you clean your rifle. Make sure to wipe the gas piston,gas tube,and gas block down. The CLP will get into the pores of the metal and not let the carbon stick tight. So the next time you clean your rifle the brass/steel brissle brush will not be needed only the tooth brush. Take the bag with the paper towels which have absorbed all the brake parts cleaner and dirt outside or in the garage to let the bpc evaporate then throw it away.
