what is the proper way to cleanup after shooting up corrosive surplus ammo :?: I know that the gas system and bore/chamber all need to be cleaned...I saw somewhere that you can use windex class cleaner with ammonia to break down the salts in the powder/primer deposits is this true :?: 8O and then clean up with your regular cleaning solvents.

Thank you

Hi Chuck S,
Iv'e been shooting the Korean surplus 30-06 headstamped KA 71 & KA 73 in my SG Greek issued and RG Danish issued M1 Garands. I have been spraying down the bolt face and chamber areas and receiver areas and running a patch down the bore soaked with windex w/ammonia. Then I dry them off and then clean them with my regular cleaning solvents I been using Hoppe's Bench Rest-9. and greasing it up with Tetra gun grease. I just wanted to know if cleaning this way would keep my babies happy and my itchy trigger finger happy and pocketbook..due to low price of the ammo :wink:

Thank you
Ezra
