Love shooting, HATE cleaning… — 16 Comments

  1. It’s best if you can feel your fingers before you begin the cleaning, especially the springs & slides. Ask me how I know this. 🙂

  2. Rev- Yeah, good point… fumbled that @#%& rod out of the .22 and it took 15 minutes to get the damn thing back in… sigh

  3. I thought you were still recuperating for Texas and having to go to work. I think it would be easier to just put the weapons in the commode and flush it a couple of times.

  5. Relax, they don’t need to be cleaned as much as you think they do.

  6. I was shooting with a couple of friends about six weeks ago. We all grabbed .22s. The reason was that we didn’t have to do much more to them than wipe them down afterwards.

  7. CP- Not with these…

    Ed- I can’t afford the ‘good’ unit… sigh

    JB- I know, but it was ‘damp’ out, and these are blued guns.

    CM- Yep, but the .22 is new and I wanted to check wear marks, and the 1947 one is blued… And I really don’t want rust…

  9. The stainless ones can just go in the dishwasher. Colt used to have a magazine ad showing that with their Series 80 Gold Cup and they’d never lie, right?

    And when you get done cleaning yours, I got a few over here that I’ve been lax on. Help a brother out?

  13. We’ve had our first day with above freezing temps in what seems like a month. Hmmm, that may be true. A few days we didn’t reach zero…and Spring is still two months off.

    **Sigh…**

  14. WSF- Yep!

    Murph- for a small fee… 😀

    Keads- LOL

    Senior- You mean you haven’t been doing your PMs???

    Skip- Bad… 🙂

    Crucis- Sorry!

  15. I must be weird, but I find that breaking down and cleaning weapons, enjoyable. Mechanical things have always held my interest.

  16. Yeah, I guess you can say I have been a little lax on some, mostly. 22 cals.
