Mike- You'll need those, some patches, a couple of rags, and throw in a box of Qtips.

Hey MarineVet,
What Marine Corps were you in? You mean to tell me that you didn't clean cosmoline of your rifle in boot camp? Hell, when I was in Great Lakes, we had to clean cosmoline off of Spr.03A3's just to shoot 20 rnds. then repack them after cleaning them. We had an old gunny for that week of firearms familiarization. We even got to shoot 10 rnds from a 1911a1, then off to adv trng, then off to southeast asia. I got lucky my first DS was Hamburg, Deutschland on the freaking ground. Then abt 6 Mo's in Candyland in the mountains near Laos and Cambodia. I joined the Navy to be 20 miles out to sea, launching VolksWagens on the NV. What happens, I get shot at by guys in black pajamas. Oi Veh.

I out the stock in it and put it in the sun, wipe down every few hours.

Dawn dish soap and hot water for the metal, then rinse with hot water.

I used the car wash a few times to clean the metal, worked real well.

Yeah I was following the directions of my boss. Serves me right to listen to him huh? JK, he's a pretty good boss. Probably not the best gunsmith/carpenter......

Just be sure to put it in a plastic bag when you shower together and another dry bag for bed time. Got plenty of room on your couch?

When you do get around to disassembling it, you'll be amazed how quick and easy it really is!

[gwynntower]

A slightly different subject. I have disassembled my M91 except for the cleaning rod. It will not come out! I thought perhaps it was screwed in but twisting it a lot other way says that's not the case. I tried clamping the end of the rod into a vise and giving it a hard pull would work, but no dice. I would have yanked harder, but I was afraid of bending the rod. Any suggestions?

Make sure you collect all that cosmoline.


Eggs fried up in it taste soooo good!

For getting cosmoline out of the bolt if you don't want to disassemble the bolt, try this.

Get yourself a couple of disposble aluminum pans from the dollar store. Put the bolt in one of them, bolt head down. Put it in the oven at 200 degrees F. and leave it there for an hour. Take it out. Look at the puddle of comsoline and guck in the bottom of the pan, and set your bolt on something to let it cool to room temperature.

When the bolt is cool, put mineral spirits in the other pan and soak the bolt for an hour, swishing it around every 5 minutes or so. Look for little 'streamers' of cosmoline coming out of the bolt. You may or may not get them. After an hour of this, remove the bolt from the mineral spirits, dispose of them properly, dry off the bolt.

At this point, you may want to put in some time with steel polish polishing the bolt. This will smooth up the action. it also makes it pretty, but that's a byproduct of the process. Lubricate it - I recommend Gunzilla for this - and your bolt is ready to go.

Easier to just disassemble the bolt. I say this having the mechanical aptitude of a wet sponge.

mine didn't have much stuff on it, but i used brake cleaner on the metal parts, then lubed it right after

[mtndewjustin]

^^^^^ idk lol
