I was suprised on how easy it was to clean my MP40. I fired about 500 rounds before cleaning. I shoot 1000 rounds in one session to see how dirty it gets. Hopefully I will get the chance next weekend.
Cleaning/Stripping the M&P
I finally took a few things apart on the M&P.
Once you find that yellow tab inside the slide at the back and lift it up with the tip of a pen its easy to take the slide off. The spring holding the barrel comes off easy, the entire process was less then 30 seconds.
The gun was very very clean considering I ve shot 600 rounds thru it without a major cleaning except the barrel with cleaning oil.
To replace the slide is as fast,, remember to put the yellow wire back in place.
I really didnt want to take it farther in the stripping process incase springs started jumping out.
Next project will be taking the mags apart to clean them, they are very dirty. I know its easy but I will wait a bit.
