What did you do today in the world of firearms?

Tue Jul 22, 2014 8:56 pm

I figure every forum has a "What did you do to your XXX today" we should get one started here.

Today I cleaned off 13 surplus AK mags. These things were FILLED with Cosmoline. However cleaning them was a breeze with the new trick I read online. Before you begin you must remember that Cosmo is your friend...

- 2 gallons of Mineral Spirits
- Plastic container
- Old toothbrush

Take the mags apart, dump them in the spirits for 15min. Give them a scrub down. Dry off and re-assemble. The Mineral Spirits are the only thing I've found to literally dissolve cosmoline.

And I picked up the recently won dust cover :party1:

I spent a lot of time sending PMs and doing moderating stuff for WaGuns, and I did online research on how to keep the thread protector on my Lone Wolf barrel from falling off.

I didn't actually touch a gun today. :frust:

Took the rail that blocked the iron sights off my 10/22 takedown.

Well.....clean your fucking gun room and then shit won't disappear under 15 layers of AR shit. My poor Swiss forged work of art, stuffed in a pile of DPMS crap.

:reaction:


Maybe I like finding free stuff! And please... DPMS? Pfft

Check your corncob media carefully....I left you a surprise.

For free, of course.


Is it an upper to match the lower?

Sighted in my new AR sights on my last AR. Took it to the action shoot. Did pretty good. Rifle and sidearm (CZ75DB) performed perfectly. Shooter (Me) had a couple flaws. Open carried in my yard all day. Searched WaGuns several times.

The original recoil spring looked like a 'Z' after my first attempt to put it and the bolt back in my 795 receiver, so I bought three new springs and watched a couple of youtubes showing how 'easy' it is. Tomorrow I'll try reassembly again.
