Cleaning the SKS in wartime situation

[profeser]

Hey guys I have a hypothetical question. If all you had in a war time situation was an sks and corrosive ammo . How would you clean your sks properly so it didn't rust.

 

[eatredmeat157]

A kettle full of boiling hot water and the factory cleaning kit

 

[Curtton]

yup, and if water is scarce then use pee.

 

[can14]

Clean all of the oil and grease off of the gun, to almost a dry condition, keep's the dirt from caking on rifles and pistols
Most SKS rifles have chrome barrels etc

Extend the bayonet... lubricate with the blood of my enemies.

I would throw it away as soon as I picked up a modern rifle off the battleground

[DBeato]

LOL, a lot of interesting answers , but we will probably be dead by the time we need to clean them, HaHaHa

If we are in a war our enemies would most likely be using 7.62 X 39 so that would not be an issue .

1.) Carry a small bottle of Hoppe's and a small bottle of gun oil.

2) Learn how to assemble and utilize the sks cleaning kit.

The vast majority of sks have chromed barrels. Bore rust will be the least of your concerns.

2 scenarios:

a) I have no access to water in the foreseeable future.
b) I have access to water in the foreseeable future.

In scenario a) you would die. Otherwise clean your rifle with water.

 

[Murray 3-D]

Id trust my life to a AK74 with a decent optic over some factory SKS in pretty much every scenario.

 

[HuskyDude]

For me...
1- Boiling water then clean/lube like any other rifle.
2- At the range before coming home....windshield washer fluid in a spray bottle. (cuz I'm cheap)
Then when ya get home #1.

wrong, lol. you said modern rifle so it would be either 5.45x39 or 5.8x42.
