Mastiff Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Can any of you recommend a book that has a good chapter or emphasis on cleaning, maintaining and disassembly and reassembling the Colt AR-15? Thanks. Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyreb Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Patrick Sweeney's book series on all things AR15 are fantastic. I believe he covers cleaning and maintenance in volume 1. I buy through Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dauntedfuture Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Keep the chamber and barrel extension area clean and keep putting lube into and on the bcg. Mist lube works well to include CLP or motor oil. Use a good copper solvent every 500 rds when you throughly clean bcg. To do so scrub it with hoppes. Nothing needs to be white glove clean. If you're shooting reloads make sure you're brass us clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at_liberty Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I found this question and did my own search, preferring something available for Kindle and then confining myself to Amazon. I chose the Vol 1 by Sweeney, [Gunsmithing - The AR-15]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
