Hi all,

a lurker since a couple of months and proud owner of a standard M1A (walnut stock, CA legal).

- after about 2k rounds, I have brass spots on the outside of the gun, mainly on the slider. How to clean these ?
- hesitant to be "too rough" on the gas piston. Is it OK to use break cleaner or similar without damaging the surface ?

Thanks all,

Roland.

Thanks, all. Ordered some Hoppes for the op-rod.

Thanks again. Stocking up on ammo before the new laws kick in, and trying to get as much range time as I can ...
