Cleaning and FMJ ammo

Heydrich · 07-19-2002, 11:29 PM

One of the bad habits (?) I picked up while maintaining and cleaning some of the German rifles I bought was cleaning the hell out of them, down to the last screw. One of the tricks I learned for cleaning a K98 bolt assembly is soaking all the parts in an acetone bath for about 15 minutes. Would this be a bad idea for cleaning Luger parts? I like everything very clean. Also, I was looking at some of the ammo available on the Sportsmansguide.com Web site. I like ordering from this organization because I have always been very satisfied with the products and outstanding customer service. I highly recommend them. Anyway, they have some PMC 9mm Luger FMJ rounds for $6.97 for a box of 50. In curious, what kind of commercial FMJ rounds are considered best for a Luger? I’m predisposed toward FMJ rounds because of the superior ballistics I’ve noticed with the 7.92mm FMJ rounds I’ve used for my German Mausers. [img]wink.gif[/img]
