it's clean to your satisfaction all right q-tips work great take q-tips and you can put them right inside the areas whether there's tightest in the elevator all right looks good let's take a look at that barrel I don't know if you can see well yeah it's pretty clean down there all right over here next we run clean the loading tube and the breast tube okay for cleaning the brass tube there are a couple of ways I used to do it I have a product called Flitz polish excellent metal polish that works for any kind of chrome brass and you that will polish easily or I use a LED cleaning cloth and this does wonders on copper stainless steel and brass so we'll go with the Flitz method here and what I do is I'll take a little dab flits and you just dab it on the on the brass brush then you take a regular toothbrush and you just sort of run it back and forth and it's actually agitating the breast givin it a nice polished look to it and you do this like every month or so kind of keep up the looks on the brass you get a member to your fingerprints have oil your fingers have oil on and when you put your fingerprints on brass or copper the acids from your hand will actually etch into the breast itself and you'll have basically a rusty looking and right here in this little slot here you want to get in that good to you know so the more often you do this the less dresses you have to be with the polishing method all right so once you've done that take a piece of cloth or or napkin on some sort of light one run it back and forth make sure you got your gloves on remember anything you're using cleaning solvents want to make sure another stuff gets in your mouth or any open wounds and you want to avoid any blood-borne pathogen issues alright do you think huh very bright and shiny because you don't member what you're firing this gun you're loading it you're going to be touching this quite often let's wearing gloves but see is still putting it down on on a tape dirty table or there's something that will cause corrosion water things like that all right one important place to clean is also the raus raus channel right in here okay water gets in there moisture gets in there and you can start rusting out your channel so you have to protect that as well so another cleaning brush and some hops number nine should do the trick alright alright that should be good enough you can run it down like so nothing down here you're not the robot one if we're not the crown of your gun you want another pest through it again [Music] the best thing uses a Jag I use a regular old we're not going to brush [Music] down again you're all that old oil comes out of their storage model not too bad it's a Tallulah a patina looking a little down there [Music] all right so don't be afraid to loot use a little number nine down that channel here once you got to clean wooden and put another recruit over number nine on it as a rust inhibitor all right let's go on this end and it's that simple folks it's not that difficult so let's go ahead and put our lever back together again so on the ejector you're going to have a little hole right here and that's where the support goes in right there all right so now take q-tips a little oil there you go don't soak it too much just a little oil and what you want to do with this is you're going to run this through the channels of the BLA the the bolt area roommates contract all right okay let's laser bolt in so you have a channel here this is where the ejector is going to run a little oil in that just like so brittle in there and you have just like that now you take your liver just like that take the screw put it in thusly start tightening it down not too tight just one snug and there you have it folks just that simple so there you have it put back together clean look at it just smooth back anyways with proper maintenance and care the way I just showed you these go Landers the last four lifetime from the oldest to the youngest they passed on generation to generation anyways it's Lesbos for life thanks for joining me today as you careful erections as much as I do you'll take care of the way I just showed you and like I said they'll give you good service and years and years of pleasure anyway thanks for going on my channel today you take care we'll see you at the next video
