Hello All,
Been here for a week, made a purchase of a ruger gsr .308 (ruger 6829). I have some questions on cleaning the rifle. My experience was with the marines, using issued buttstock cleaning kit and clp.
I noticed watching videos of cleaning and reading about how to clean, it is very different from how I was trained. Below is a list of my questions:
-Punching the bore... I was always told to do this in one direction, rear to front. Never from front to rear and back again. I was told how to do this to protect the threading of the rifle. To me every video I've seen is doing it wrong and ruining there rifles haha, so please explain!
-Is CLP sufficient? Or is using a solvent necessary also?
Again, my experience was my training in the marines. I get my rifle on monday, would like to clean it properly before going to the range! Thanks!
