Cleaning after Firing Corrosive Ammo

[paul6892]

The primer and propellant residue gets under the extractor and everywhere, clean it up

Repeatedly taking the extractor out is gonna end up breaking it. A flush with water will suffice.

Yea, 1000 times cleaning with hot water, never a problem and I avoid taking that out as much as possible

Copy that, I do not do it Repeatedly...... I use a brass drift pin, small hammer, a block of wood and skill

Thanks for the advice

If you take it out every time you clean, that become repeatedly pretty quickly.

OK, enough of this, I don't disassembly the Bolt Head every time I clean the Firearm and I do appreciate
your well meaning advice. I believe this has been fully addressed....

My comments are directed at any newbies that might read this thread, and think it is a good idea to take the extractor out every time you clean. You can do as you please with your rifle. I agree. This has been fully covered.

But thanks for pointing out that it ain't just the barrel that you have to worry about, Paul. A lot of guys think that cleaning the barrel is all they need to do. They never think about the corrosive salts that get on the bolt. Back in my black powder days, I learned to clean EVERYTHING.

Why would you put cat urine extract down the bore of your Mosin? I say this as I sit here in the shop office were Bucky the shop tomcat sneaked in last night and sprayed all the corners. I am chugging on a cigar in order to not smell that f***in horrible ammonia smell. Cat piss, the smell of the spray paint can that burst in the next room yesterday, and La Gloria Cubana, it's some stink in here.

La Gloria Cubana...My personal favorite

[Junk Yard Dog]

They are a good cigar, but not strong enough for this, it still smells like cat piss and paint in here, and now I need another cigar...

I'm sorry but what's your point ?

Very informative, gentlemen, thank you. I hadn't known that about not taking apart the bolt repeatedly. You guys saved me some trouble down the line.

Point, the point, such as it is is at the end of the bayonet.
