It was time for a new cleaning rod because my old one was just about finished. It was just a crappy rod I had picked up in a cheap universal kit quite awhile ago. I went with the below from Hoppes...Carbon fiber rod, ball bearings in the handle, ergonomic weighted grip and 8 inches long which...

My experience with AR's goes back a while, to 1970 when they had us turn in the M14 Rifle for the M16. Since even before my army service I was a gun guy, I was interested in keeping my rifle clean and functional. In Vietnam, I was a support troop in the rear. But I pulled guard duty on the...

I've used the stainless travel cups for hot beverages for years. The Contigo brand has worked great, in that respect. Mine is used for coffee.
Considering I like the Coffeemate French Vanilla, the sugars tend to build over time, and grow into an almost caulk appearance and texture.
Once a week I...

I'm searching for a better method of cleaning primer pockets. I'm already uniforming most of the pockets* as part of virgin brass prep but for all my fired and prepped brass I use a pocket brush with less than ideal results. I know many don't worry about pockets and that's cool but for those...
...So, it's generally agreed upon the bore and chamber are cleaned with warm water, some folks add windex, and others use soap, but what about the bolt? How many of you disassemble the bolt and scrub it down?
Seems to me you can get by with just cleaning the bolt face, but I don't want to risk...
Once upon a time I belonged to a car site. The dreaded thread there was brands of oil. A mere mention would be biblical....40 days and 40 nights of comments! Anyway, here's my brass cleaning hint and any comments would be helpful. I'm a real stickler for clean brass. My local range is insistent...
OK guys, I've got more ammo than I can reasonably shoot, so its time to thin the pile. Most of these I just have too much, so time to split what I have and see if others can use it. Don't really need to sell any of this so low balling won't work, reasonable offers accepted though. I do my best...
