Just got my first AR, a Bushmaster XM-15 E2S 20' A3. handled and just love it. Cannot wait to go to the range to shoot it, but first of all I have to clean it. This is my first AR (I have other rifles, but they are hunting and target shooting ones), so I got some questions regarding the cleaning of it:
1. Could I use the usual powder solvent and lubrication oil (such as Hoppes' 9) to clean and lubricate the AR? or it is better to use CLP?
2. The upper and lower receivers are alumni instead of the usual steel, could I use powerder solvent to clean them? or I have to use something else?
3. For the gas tube, is it necessary to clean the inside of this long tube?
4. What about the plastic parts (the butt stock, forearm and ...)? What to use to clean and preserve them?
Thanks,
