No more long cleaning procedure to remore all these corrosive salt from this cheap 7.62 X 39 military ammo.

All you have to do after you long or short shooting session, is to shoot 10 to 20 rounds of no corrosive ammo like Chinese ammo from grey or yellow boxes.

High pressure and very hot gaz from this ammo will burn and trow out all these corrosive salt and deposit from previous corrosive ammo.

Your SKS or CZ will be just like if you have shot non corrosive commercial ammo.

Give a try, you will see. :D
 
Personally, when I'm feeling lazy I just give everything a quick wipe down with Hoppes No. 9, then oil everything lightly with a good gun oil. Takes maybe 5 minutes tops, and I get to take apart my gun :)

Then before I shoot it next I pull apart the bolt and clean all that oil out of the firing pin hole (brake cleaner)... (stored muzzle up = all the oil ends up in the bolt) ...then give the bore and piston a quick wipe to remove excess oil... good to go...


...actually, when I type it all up, it doesn't seem that lazy after all..... lol

Somebody gave me this advice before when I complained that it takes forever to clean the SKS after range use. I bought 2 boxes of Prvi Partizan (Serbian ammo) and fired them in the end of the section after about 150 rounds of czech milsurp. Well, it was a bit less time to clean the bore but all other parts were as dirty as before.

Another advice I was given is to wash the bore in the dishwash detergent, let it dry, fill the bore with Hoppes 9 copper solvent and leave over night. Well, I didn't try that one because I would rather flash the bore with gasoline than water. :)

I wonder what would be the cheapest and fastest cleaning solutions because the amount of Hoppes 9 I spend starts cost me more than ammo, lol! :D

Please, guys, share what you use to keep this cheap fun cheap. :redface:
 
Yikes, I don't know how more shooting can get rid of the salts, etc. Corrosive ammo shoots hot too and it doesn't clean itself. I have heard this one before, but I think I will still clean my 858 to be certain.
 
I still love my windex and a bit of ot wather in the tub, just dry whit a towel afther ward and it's pretty much all clean.

Break cleaner is a Good tool afther fireing over 10 000 round of blank in a C6 afther a course just don't tell anny one ;) but it's bad for the metal finish :(

Elbow grease is still the best tool to clean anny gun

Why waste my non-corrosives ammo? Boiling water is fast, extremely effective and free:) just my 2 cents.....

So you guys DO clean with boiling water. Could you elaborate the process? Do you disassemble the rifle completely before doing it? I just can't imagine how it can be done!
 
Boil a kettle of water, use a funnel and pour 2/3 of it through the bore and the rest into the gas block, then clean as normal.

Easy as falling off a log.

Usually I've got the bolt/carrier assembly out of the gun, sometimes not. At minimum you need to remove the upper handguard and piston.
 
I've followed alot of different methods for cleaning up after using surplus ammo, but for a quick lazy clean, I find using WD 40 down the barrel and around the other parts works great.
When I'm at the hunt camp, that is all the cleaning the SKS sees during the week, and not one hint of rust has ever started. Once I get home then a proper breakdown cleaning is in order, using boiling water and hoppes.

I've never used boiling water, I just scrub and use solvent.

I'm not sure about the non-corrosive ammo thing. Doesn't seem like it would get the gas system very well.
 
If you want to be fast and just get the salts out, a couple sprays of windex down the barrel, and finish of with some WD40.

For a more detailed strip would this be good?

Take everything metal off and toss it in a bucket of extremely hot water and a bit of soap. Let soak while cleaning the barrel. When you take the parts out they are usually still extremely hot so water evaoprates almost instantly. Do a wipedown with paper towels, and clean crap out of the little parts around the firing pin. Oil in appropriate places and finished.
 
I bother with boiling water maybe once every 3 cleanings, the other 2 times I just use hot water from the tap.

Occasionally I blast hard-to-reach spots using a steam cleaner, like this one:

The advantage of steam cleaner is that a little water last a long time, because water expands many times in volume when turning to steam. But I'm worried about all that steam vapor carrying lead particles into the air, so I only use it outdoors.
 
I heard that if you squeeze the innards out of a twinkie into the chamber and let it slowly work it's way down the barrel... It'll be full of twinkie innards.

Why is cleaning such a chore for most? How do you ever inspect your guns for problems, issues, wear, etc if you never do anything but shoot it? No wonder why so many people don't notice a problem until their gun fails. Cleaning doesn't have to be a 500-step process.

This gets done to death about every 2 weeks here.

..I'm in a chipper mood today. so I'll bow out at that. ;)
