Thread: Firearm Maintenace

G'day Team,

I have not found any threads with this info so figured why not see what tips, tricks & learnings people have picked up over the years.

I've spent a fair bit of time combing youtube and other forums/websites. One of the better videos I watched was this one here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlRHDZfccl0 'Forget the "gun cleaning" stuff - You're cleaning steel'.


I know the basics. No oil left in the barrel before shooting and only a minimal amount of oil ever.

I'm wondering how often/necessary a full disassembly, wipe everything, minimal oil, put back together should be done .. if at all?

I've got an old browning trombone takedown - I'd assume a deep clean on an old rifle will help preserve it. Can't find a manual online in English.

Also.. how many people soak a silencer in fuel.. and have you ever had any problems?

Looking forward to hearing how you operate.

Cheers,
Pat
