ctracingraptor Report post Posted May 23, 2015 im pretty good about cleaning my guns, and i have several other satin (low gloss) stainless barrels and parts. But I was cleanings my sendero and noticed this greenish sticky funk on my bolt and in the corners of my mag box. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it, and what product that im using is possibly causing this? I checked all my other rifles and none of have this, only on my sendero? Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctracingraptor Report post Posted May 23, 2015 I use KG products exclusively, then wipe everything down with a very light coat of rem oil. Occasionally i use wipeout and let it sit overnight, when i just can't get to it until the next day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swivelhead Report post Posted May 23, 2015 Probably ought to use your copper solvent on the areas to get the "green funk" back into solution. Then wipe it off, lightly oil, wipe some more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HyNoon Report post Posted May 23, 2015 It does hurt to use wd-40 to help remove solvents and wipe then wipe with oil again as well to help get rid of left over stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted May 23, 2015 I'd stop using the Rem Oil and switch to another type of protectorant like Frog Lube, WD-40 Specialist Long Term Corrozion Inhibiter or Eezox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ctracingraptor Report post Posted May 24, 2015 Ok , i used my KG12, which cleans copper and it cleared it right up. Thank you so much! I don't understand how cleaning my bore is affecting my bolt? My bolt is removed during cleaning, and i use a bore guide to keep junk out of my mag box. I normally just clean my bold with rem oil and brake cleaner. Then finish with a light coat of rem oil, and a dab of gun grease. I guess ive just been using rem oil so long, is there something better out there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
