SKS Rust

Too funny Sir, too funny :D

On a serious note though, water works perfectly fine.

It doesn't cost anything.
It comes out of a tap.
It doesn't cost anything.
It isn't a caustic carcinagenic chemical.
It doesn't cost anything.
It has worked on every rifle I own that I have shot corrosive out of for years.
It doesn't cost anything.

Rinse with water the parts directly exposed to the gas.
Wipe them dry.
Oil and clean as normal with the cheapest oil and rags you can find.

Any water that didn't get wiped up will get displaced by the oil.

That's Uncle Travis' non tactical, cheap as 5hit, common sense guide to cleaning a rifle that shoots corrosive ammo ;)

Did you mention that water doesn't cost anything?:p

It might be good to add that boiling hot water down the gas tube with the wood handguard
In place will cause the cheap shellac to turn into white powder and it won't look too nice.
I now use very hot tap water because of this.
It's also wise to remove the stock from the action for the same reason.

Good point.

I just use cold water.

I try not to get it on the stock at all.

The whole cleaning with a bit of water process adds at most like 10 minutes to the 20 minute cleaning process.

It's such a small amount of extra work to shoot very affordable ammunition.
 
Haha, thanks for the responses guys. So i just sprayed my entire gun with brake cleaner, then poured boiling water over it, then windex, and took a piss on it.

Who wants cheap sks? lol

I soak mine in windex after I shoot, I heard that ammonia works well on the corrosive salts of the ammo. I totally dis-assemble the gun, soak parts in windex and scrub with a tooth brush. Then rinse in warm soapy water. I use a hair dryer to speed up dry time. So far no rust for me with corrosive ammo.

If you store your gun in a area that might get a little damp at times I have use rust check as a barrier coat inside and out.It comes in a spray can,spray some on a rag and wipe down. Works for me as a long term rust inhibitor.
