Hey guys, Im new to this forum. My names Kev and my only rifle experience is the SKS. I know alot about firearms, but when it comes to cleaning and shooting, the SKS is what im best at. I have some questions about the cleaning procedures. This is what I do.
1. clean all the action parts with gun scrubber. bolt, carrier, trigger group etc. wipe em down, let em dry and then lightly oil them.
2. I use a bronze brush on the barrel with hoppes 9 solvent spray. I then wet some patches and then use dry patches.
3. I clean the gas tube with a bronze brush and the piston with the gun scrubber. I make sure they are clean and dry when i put them back as to avoid buildup.
A few questions I have are mainly about what types of stuff to use on the gas port, piston and gas tube. Is what im doing to them too much, not enough? Should i clean the gas port regularly?
Also since its an unissued m59/66 from CAI (Century Arms) should I worry about the gas shutoff leaking? And what can I do if that ever happens?
Thanks in advance for any info you guys give me.
