Cleaning your bushie

[Hoot]

Midway was gonna charge me a HazMat fee for a small can of
Kroil last Tuesday. I then cancelled it from my order.

Yes, I think the shipping quote from Midway was something like $13.50 which is high for UPS Ground, but who's to say what else you could add to the order for the same shipping price? I'm fortunate that we have a local reloading shop that stocks many off-the-beaten-path stuff. Love the place. Siringo goes there also. I was there today and there were lots of local shooters mulling about, trying to shake the cabin fever that comes this time of the year when you can't get out to shoot yet for all the snow. In 5 minutes I dropped $75.00 for what you could fit in a ziplock sandwich bag. The NWS is calling for snow 4 out of 5 days next week.

PM on the way.

Okay, hoot. We will be waiting.
Midway has their Kroil on sale right now.
I really wished she hadn't scared me off with
That shipping fee.

I stand corrected. I just ran it through their web site. $11.39 Shipping UPS ground. That's not rape and pillage high and like I said, you can probably add a few things for the same amount.

It was more like 13-15 bucks.
Let me kick it around. I was gonna buy some
Dura Bake or a Parkerize kit for my new Ross brake.
If they are gonna charge me out the nose, I may as well
Get my $$$ worth.
What you think for a brake? Parkerize or Durabake?

I think you said you got the CrMo one. If it was me, I'd soda or bead blast it and Parkerize it. Manganese Parkerizing will match the Bushmaster barrel very well. Off to bed now...GN

We have to clean these?

Every 1000 rounds or every 6 month. Which ever occurs first.

About 45 years ago I was taught to clean the M1 then give everything a light coating of Lubriplate. It's a white grease and I've been using it on all of my guns ever since. I've never had a problem. I use such a small amount that I'll probably loose the tube before I use it all. I just take a little on the finger and coat everything that moves.
