i wipe everything with paper towel.
then i dip everything in the bathtub, except the gas tube and trigger assembly.
then i wipe everythign again.
then i use remmington bright bore and a qtip anywhere i can find any more black stuff.
then i coat everything with oil.
the reason i dont put the gas tube in, is because i dont want to soak the wood, and then have it hold moisture against the metal. im concerned corrosion on the gas tube where i cant access it do to the wood, so i just spray lots of oil on the tube and hope it runs back there. i spray bright bore inside the gas tube and cram paper towel into it then pull it back out, until it looks like just bright bore comming back out.
i spend a couple hours on it, from start to finish. i thought i was doin a super awesome overkill job... which i dont mind because i enjoy doing it... but last time i had it apart there was a bit of corrosion on the piston and inside the gas tube.
any advice?
I saturate the piston and gas tube with break cleaner, run the brush, and rinse. I then use air compressor @100psi to push the water out. Then G96 and run several patches through it until clean. I also spray some G96 on the underside where the wood meets the gas tube and leave it upside down for a few minutes to let the lube seep down.
