[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 168358, member: 3"] Paul Come-on.... Don't tell me that you've grown thin skinned in your old age. Some of us really enjoy your posts and I'll bet you secretly enjoy a few of your terse replies to the "experts", I know a few folks that live to read some of your more blistering replies.... I'll share mine if you share yours... [B]How to clean a rifle![/B] [B]by Dave King[/B] [B]CAUTION::: This is a cookbook set of instructions, they must be followed strictly in order, no substitutions or deviations. :::CAUTION[/B] 1) Get a rifle to clean. (It doesn't need to be dirty or rusty or old it just needs to be a proper rifle with a functional bore and action. Rifles with plugged barrels can be cleaned but this procedure does not cover these cases. Stolen rifles should be cleaned with extra care so as not to leave trace fingerprints...a fingerprint removal procedure is contained in a follow-on set of auxiliary instructions.) 2) If there is another person present when you are about to start the cleaning process you would be well advised to have them leave the area or blindfold them. If you skip this step you'll not be able to clean the rifle according to these instructions as deviations are caused by 'expert' or ignorant bystanders. 3) Assemble your cleaning supplies: a. rifle b. a flat mostly horizontal surface manufactured of durable material, large is better than small and if you're a klutz something with a raised lip and low to the ground/floor is suggested. Beginners should find a large empty tiled or linoleum covered room and work on the floor. c. a rest or holder upon which the rifle will rest when cleaning. This device should be constructed such that the rifle is held in a nearly horizontal position, with the ability to adjust the rest so the muzzle is angled toward the ground so as to facilitate drainage of liguid or fluid or gasseous materials toward the muzzle end. It sould also be fashioned in such a manner so that the rifle is cleaned from the breach end unless there is a limiting factor such as commonly found on lever action rifles, muzzle loaders, revolver rifles, rifles with the bolt stuck shut, rifles that the owner can't figure out how to remove the bolt, etc. NOTE: The rest should be covered with whatever material the rifle cleaner feels is sufficient to protect the finish of the rifle from scratches, dents, dings, etc...some of us really don't care and just use factory supplied rubber pads. I'll work on this proceedure some more in a bit, I gotta re-do some electrical wiring while my wife is gone... She insists on having me turn off the house power while I wire or re-wire electrical outlets and I like to do it while the power is on so I can tell if the connection is correct... wives are like that ya know! Paul... You can start on your procedure if you wish. [/QUOTE]
