Flushing trigger group on VZ58 when using corrosive ammo?

[CanadianBaconPancakes]

When using corrosive ammo do you guys flush the trigger group? Seems like an easy place for water to get trapped and I feel like salts would be hard to get in there in the first place.

a tooth brush and hopps oil works for my rifle

If you keep it well oiled (seasoned with Ballistol) you shouldn't need to clean the trigger group more than every 5-10 range trips. I like to keep my rifles well cleaned though.

Ballistol and water (moose milk) with allow you to flush a rifle and if a small amount of water remains behind, so will the Ballistol, to protect it. When the water finally evaporates, the Ballistol remains.

I flush mine out then blow it all out with the air compressor. Never been an issue.

Yup - that's my routine too. Don't skimp on the compressed air - takes a while to blow it all out indeed. Then I use Hoppes with 22 patches and picks. Haven't taken the trigger apart yet but I am sure its coming.

glad to hear there are no issues. It seems like it would be prone to issues since it dosent come out. But with care I think it will be fine.
