    Carbon burn removal ?

    in General Gunsmithing

    Posted

    So I tried

    wd40  and a hard scrub 👎🏼
    blast penetrating oil And a hard scrub 👎🏼
     

    so I usually soak comps in a 50/50 mixture of hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar for 24hrs and everything melts off and any lead softens up so I can just pick it off 

     

    i soaked the slide over nite and it took 95% of it off

    Kroil! I was trying to remember the name, that's what AAC told me to use to help break up the carbon on their Anodized aluminum baffles that are notoriously sensitive for cleaning.   

     

    Also another possible option is toothpaste, I used it once to clean off the carbon on a SureFire light that had a ton of carbon build up. But it did take off the anodizing to, so be sure to first  try in a small area where you won't notice if does effect the finish. 

    I actually did try toothpaste because that’s what I use to clean The blast residue off the glass on my Cmores 

    it took some off but not the burnt on s#!t

    yes, Flitz or other metal polishes will do that, so will lead remover patches.

     

    Fast evaporating solvents like brake cleaner and laquer thinner are not very good for removing carbon. WD-40 and other oily solvents like kerosene, diesel, etc do a much better job, but you'll need to put some elbow grease into it as well. You could try some fine steel wool, or copper or brass scrubbing pad (i.e. Chore Boy pads). 

     

    Chrome is pretty hard and durable, you don't need to worry about damaging it with most chemicals, just avoid abrasives like polishing paste, scotchbrite pads, or sand paper since all of those will change the finish. 

    I was thinking the same 

    I’ll try Brake cleaner first and go from there 

    2018 STI DVC Limited reviews?

    in 1911-style Pistols

    Posted

    I can’t speak for the new dvc
    but I’ve been shooting a island barrel limited pistol and totally love it

    as far as a huge difference from a slide mounted site to a barrel mounted not anything significant 
    I agree with what others have said a steel grip would be better then island barrel and if you like the DVC grip just get one on a brozos tuned edge or get a brazos tuned dvc

    Recently picked up a new to me open gun 

    had an old Cmore serendipity sight 

    took it off to upgrade sighting system and there’s a Burn stain on the top of slide does anyone know how I can get this off without ruining hard chrome finish ?

    When will they eliminate the LCI barrels?

    Cowboy,

     

    Interested to hear that Sig might replace the LCI barrel. I have a M17 with the LCI, and in using it for CO, it's a pain. Do you have any info as to how easy it was to get Sig to swap barrels?

    I’m interested in this as well I would like to swap mine out as well

    Light Primer strike on M&P 40 after Installation of APEX Trigger

    in S&W (M&P, etc)

    As MPOM said, it is likely a timing issue. The gap on your trigger bar loop (candy cane) is opened too far. This allows the striker to be released prior to the striker block clearing. This robs the striker of a significant amount of energy, resulting in light primer strikers. 

     

    To fix it, reduce the size of the gap on the trigger bar loop. This will fix your timing issue and allow the striker block to fully clear before the striker is released.

     

    If you have another M&P, that you know works fine, go dry fire it. It will make a crisp clicking/snapping when dry fired. A gun with incorrect timing will make more of a dull thud noise when dry fired (depending on how off the timing is).

     

    Essentially, you are doing the OPPOSITE of this:

     

    Yes this was my issue as well until I watched this video and I also installed an extra power striker spring

    What's funny is PT used to say this wasn't a problem, and the user was just "doing it wrong" etc. Then Limcat released a magwell that fixed this nonexistent problem and suddenly PT is making a similar magwell that does the same thing.  They'd of been in a much better place in my eye's had they responded differently when shooters pointed this out, and then came up with a solution instead of denying it and attacking customers then copying someone else's solution.

    Yup I remember reading this thread you mention
