After firing, strip the major systems, boil a ketle of water and pour it through the barrel, over the gas piston system and even into the metal bit s of the action. The water essentially neutralizes the acids of the salts. The heat of the water dries it up fairly fast too.
Now go through your regular cleaning. Oil the h%$@ out of everything.
I just found gunzilla for my 858, and I am definietley ordering a barrel of that stuff!
I used to just use regular oils after firing without the water treatment. Days later I would have stuff growing in my barrels because the salts weren't neutralized and have to go tbhrough the whole cleaninig process again. I am so grateful for electric tea kettles.
