Cleaning and maintenance of weapons
You can find the points that need to be mentioned about gun cleaning and maintenance, which is one of the important issues that a gun user should know, in our article.
Security is one of the most important issues to be considered in the cleaning and maintenance of weapons. We have to do it again and again to avoid accidents without disrupting safety controls.
* First of all, we should make sure that there is no one around us and keep the gun in the safety open position when there are people around us.
* We must remove the magazine of our weapon after making sure that there is no one around us who will be damaged in any accident.
* We must bolt and release the gun slide to ensure that there are no firecrackers on the barrel bed of our weapon.
After completing the safety steps, we must begin the disassembly process to perform the cleaning and maintenance of your weapon. According to the design and engineering of manufacturers in today's weapons, there are many removal and installation methods that put new users in a difficult situation.If you don't know how to disassemble your weapon, you can browse various YouTube videos and detailed disassembly, installation applications on the manufacturer's web page of your weapon. During the disassembly process, many users do not disassemble the Gun Case, and this is a very wrong practice. The gun case should definitely be disassembled before starting the cleaning of the weapon. This is because the chemicals and oils that we will use to clean and maintain the weapon will damage the paint, texture, varnish and wood of the weapon case.
After completing the disassembly process, we should carefully apply the oils and chemicals that we will use according to the label information. You should definitely wear protective gloves.
You should apply the oils and chemicals that we will use according to the way they are used. Remember that the use of poor-quality chemicals and oils will damage your weapon. Our personal advice is that you should choose the best and highest quality ones from the arms dealer you are in!
The Jul suits and cloths you use should be clean when you start the gun cleaning process. The cotton cloth you use will make your work easier. Do not forget to clean the bullet holes and grooves in your barrel with the barrel cleaning rod with hard wire located inside your cleaning kit. You should take great care of the rifling and barrel cleaning, because due to the high pressure and temperature, your cartridge softens before leaving the barrel, as a result, the rifling plasters them inside and on the barrel surface. You can use various chemicals to clean this plaster, but the hard-wired literal bar will work at the initial level.
Another most important point of your weapon is the cleaning of the pull tab. Especially the gunpowder residue that gets into the lower parts of the pull tab, which allows you to pull the empty sleeve out of the barrel bed and throw it out, will prevent the nail from working properly. That is why the bottom should be cleaned with the help of a thin stick.
The collision area of the gun cock and its needle should be thoroughly inspected, if you are not a professional, it should definitely not be dismantled, and support from a specialist should be sought.
After lubricating your weapon, keeping your weapon in an oily state for about 15 minutes before starting the drying and wiping process will allow the oil you use to achieve better results. Do not leave your weapon absolutely oily because oils and chemicals will cause mold and rust to form on your weapon when they lose their properties!
When you have completed the cleaning and maintenance of your weapon, you should definitely do the drying process literally. You can check out our barrel cleaning and other detailed maintenance notes from our other articles.
