Great tutorial, That Guy!  That sure is a hell of a lot of work! 

I see we got the thumbs up emoticon!  Whoo Hoo!   [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

Did you guys see anything that I forgot to mention, like inspecting the bolts on the gaskey, inspecting the charging handle for cracks in the metal or inspecting the firing pin for chips or dings?

Hello all, Thanks THATGUY,

  While I like U-Tube Vids as much as the next guy, unless your on an Old crappy desktop and they stutter and fair to play right? I see a Step by step Pic way as the way that I learn better and thanks for the credit, but it's just how I taugght inthe Military and works for me? I see u-Tube as a wonderfull way to do it, if you can get axcess, this way with Pics, one can even print this off or save it to have? All my seperate weapons systens get a clean and inspect as I do them! I know AR is touted as more cleaning intensive, and in more need of uinspection but the truth be told, they ALL NEED CLEAN and INSPECT and as in all cases Preventitive maintenance saves lives and even $! I also advocate a small kit of spare parts that we all know go bad on firearms in time and always at the worst time? I have most of mine inthe case for that handgun or in a rifle in the Butstock or somewhere they are handy and ready! Simple items like Pins, springs and other critical parts like Firing PIn, extractor and ejectors cover a Lot of common ground and common falures and plus as not at all expeniive and I see it as cheap insurance, even if you don't know how to install them, have them, one of us will talk ya though it or do it with ya?

I feel silly. I normally clean by adding lube.
I just use bullets as a borebrush.
Great tutorial though. Very thorough.

I hadn't ever cleaned it before and I've been shooting the piss out of it since December of last year.. I thought I would do it for the record more than anything.

i know im late to this party but how long did it take you to clean that firing pin? did you have to scrape that carbon off?

thatGuy:
If I were you Chesty I wouldn't clean it till I shoot atleast 500 brass cased rounds though it.

To answer your question, I have never noticed carbon on the firing pin itself. Most fouling happens around the gas rings. It is a bitch to get off but have no fear they make all kinds of products that clean it off. I hear that carb cleaner is the shit just don't get it on any plastics.
