And how am I able to tell if the ammo is corrosive or not?

Any idea whether or not the 7.62x39mm CanadaAmmo will be selling is corrosive?

ask before you buy. i usually treat all non-north american made ammo as corrosive.

canadaammo's czech ammo are corrosive.

So, according to this guide, I'd be looking at a shopping list as follows:

  • Bore Guide
  • Gun Stand
  • Patches
  • Bronze Brush
  • Nylon Brush
  • Pistol Cleaning Rod
  • Slotted Ends
  • Hoppes No. 9
  • Shooter's Choice Copper Remover
  • Break Free Powder Blast
Anything more necessary?

And, are there any shops in the GTA that stock the above items, so I can avoid painful shipping costs?

I usually bring a bottle of Windex for range cleaning and a kettle for water so I can pour boiling water down the barrel and gas action and make myself a tea when I get home and start cleaning.
 
I take my trigger assembly out and hose it down with G96, also I like an excuse to use bad words when dealing with that fricken brutal ba$turd trigger assembly release button. :D

BTW:
THE SAFETY HAS TO BE ON (UP POSITION) IN ORDER FOR THAT BUTTON TO WORK.

:D

I've also updated the shopping list a wee bit, as earlier I, uh, didn't notice the pre-made one in the cleaning guide.

  • Hoppes No. 9
  • 1-Piece Cleaning Rod
  • Shooter's Choice Copper Remover
  • Bronze Brushes
  • Patches
  • Nylon Cleaning Brush
  • Rifle Stand
  • Slotted Ends
  • Bore Guide
  • Break Free Bore Paste
  • Break Free Powder Blast
  • Break Free CLP

IMO, that's a pretty gucci list. Here's what I've used for years:

Cleaning rod (the cheaper, the better)
Bronze brush
Patch jag
Windex (or a kettle full of boiling water)
WD40
Gun oil (or synthetic motor oil if you want to be fancy)
Patches (old t-shirts work wonderfully)
Old tooth brush to get into nooks and crannies in the receiver

The super-duper products like the Break-Free stuff you list are not needed and expensive to boot.

What's the bore guide for? Just clean from the breech end and you don't need it. Plus, there's one in the SKS cleaning/tool kit.

I've never taken the stock off. Use a funnel to pour your boiling water and none will get in the action. Watch out it doesn't run into your shoes when it comes out the gas port.
 
Here is what I use.

A big rag.
Stock cleaning rod that came with the rifle.
Stock cleaning kit that came with rifle.
A funnel that fits in the chamber.
Boiling hot water out of a kettle.
Spay can of G96
Some .30 cal patches.
Final oil I use is Ballistol.
:D
 
You could just get an Otis kit, works on anything, take it anywhere, never damage the rifle/pistol/shotgun, end up with a clean gun.

For corrosive ammo use windex immediately and hot soapy water at home. Then clean it with an Otis kit.
