[quote name='Angry_American'][quote name='Bradd_D']Just curious...why did you feel compelled to clean the plunger, etc.?
I clean each and every part of my weapon after a day at the range. The only thing I have not been able to clean is the extractor assembly, as the damn pin is being a stubborn *******.
And to answer your question more specifically, the plunger was spotless before I went to the range. 400 rounds of WWB, and it was dirty as hell, as was every part of the weapon.
I do this for all my guns, they get fired, they get completly cleaned, except for my varmit rifle, that one gets a snake through the barrell after every critter encounter, and gets a total cleanup either every 6 months or after shooting a a box or two of rounds.
Maybe I take it too far, but I always keep my tools spotless.[/quote]
I'm just not sure removing the rear sight, which is a friction fit, is such a good idea. I also Loctite my sights in place after zeroing so it wouldn't be prudent for me to do it anyway.[/quote]
I would have to agree that taking the rear sight off that frequently could cause you a problem in the future.
