Default Re: Message to DOK, re Shooter's Care

As we now have non corrosive ammo, you guys are going way too far in your cleaning. A little swabbing of the bore and a little gunslick, (or equivalent), on the slide rails is enough, followed by a little oil on the exterior where the gun has been handled. The only way I can think of having to go this far in a cleaning is if you are using some corrosive military surplus ammo, which was corrosive due to the mercury based priming mixture.
