Laugh all you want I had a few questions on cleaning mine.
I pm'ed someone over this and when I re-read it I thought it best to open myself up to your public ridicule, so here goes.
The Tavor, I still find a pain and I have a few questions.
1. Just what do you do for the reciever body?
Rag on a cleaning rod and hope for the best?
Marry a tiny asian with small fingers?
2. Has anyone really figured out what the bottle brush is for exactly?
Sure you can use it on the body interior but it fits the gas tube too perfectly.
3. Is there a way to clean out the barrel extension that the lugs fit into without taking the barrel off each time?
Tried out a good soaking of Gunzilla and then an AR chamber brush, the one with the barrel extension brush on the end of the chamber brush.
Once I unstuck my pinkie from out of the ejection port,
I realized nothing was lifting out the carbon from inside the lug recesses.
So, I tried the Tavor chamber brush figuring it is newer or maybe dimensionally larger.
After unstucking my pinkie from the ejection port again,
I realized it still is not lifting out the carbon.
So eventually I sprayed great amounts of oil into the chamber and floated all the carbon down the barrel like a massive contamination spill at Niagara Falls and pulled through the barrel.
Oil is cheep. Still not clean to my army inspired OCD liking though.
I figure somebody should show the Isrealis the interior of a '77 Impala to show them how controls for North American males should be designed.
Where the climate control was moved by palming the entire unit over to heat, or you could change radio stations by using your fist.
Next time I clean it I'll be donning boxing gloves to remind myself not to get my fingers stuck.
4. The damned firing pin and the lip.
Seems every time I take the bolt apart I spend three to tens times as much effort putting it back together.
The firing pin goes back in, round up and then rotates in flat up.
On the back of the bolt carrier there is a tiny lip of steel.
Does the round fit into the carrier inside the carrier within the lip, or with the round hanging over the outside edge of the bolt carrier hanging over the lip?
In TV PressPass' bolt video, he shows the round behind and over the back of the lip.
I figure this must be right since it is the only way the it fits itself together with the bolt retaining pin.
How am I doing so far?
Any suggestions?
I understand that the best level of cleaning associated with the Isreali Army is benign neglect.
