Neutral oils

View gallery Neutral gun oil makes it possible to significantly reduce the cost of gun maintenance.
Such products are distinguished by the most affordable prices for the majority of consumers. A comparative disadvantage of products in this category is the need to thoroughly prepare the weapon for maintenance. For these purposes, special kits are used, which contain not only gun oil, but also a whole range of products for preliminary cleaning and surface treatment.

Neutral bases are used along with alkaline agents. It is advisable to resort to their use during regular use of weapons, the success of which directly depends on the abundant lubrication of functional parts.

You should purchase neutral gun oil “Berkut” and products of other popular brands in cases where the rifle or carbine is used constantly for long hunting trips. Purchasing such a product allows you to abandon more expensive universal foundations.

The procedure for cleaning and lubricating the rifle

⇐ PreviousPage 5 of 7Next ⇒

100. The rifle must always be kept in perfect order and cleanliness, which is achieved by timely and skillful cleaning and lubrication. 101. Cleaning of rifles in service with a unit must be carried out: a) if the rifle is standing unused - at least once every 10 days; b) after exercises, service, guard duty and classes (without shooting) - immediately after the end of classes or exercises; c) after firing live or blank cartridges - immediately after the end of the shooting or exercise; at the same time, immediately at the shooting range (in the field) it is necessary to clean and lubricate only the barrel bore and the cup of the bolt frame, and upon returning from the shooting (training) to completely clean the rifle; over the next 3–4 days, wipe the bore with a clean white rag and, if carbon deposits, blackness or rust are found on the rag, repeat the cleaning; d) in a combat situation, during maneuvers and long exercises in the field - daily, taking advantage of breaks in training or a lull in the battle. Lubricate the rifle with gun lubricant immediately after cleaning it. 102. Cleaning and lubrication of rifles is carried out by soldiers under the guidance of the squad commander, who is obliged to: a) determine the extent of necessary disassembly, cleaning and lubrication; b) check with the soldiers that the equipment is in good working order and the cleaning materials are of good quality; c) check the correctness and completeness of the cleaning performed, and then give permission to lubricate; d) check the correctness and completeness of the lubrication and give permission to place the rifle in the pyramid. Command and supervisory personnel, from the platoon commander and above, are required to observe and supervise the disassembly, cleaning, lubrication and assembly of rifles. 103. Cleaning of rifles in barracks or camp conditions should be carried out in places specially designated for cleaning weapons, on tables equipped or adapted for this purpose, and in a combat or field situation - on mats, boards, etc., previously cleared of dirt and dust. 104. Cleaning equipment must be in good working order, and all lubricants and cleaning materials must be clean and of good quality. Lubricants should be stored in closed containers with appropriate labels on them, and wiping materials should be stored in special boxes or wrapped in thick material to protect them from dust, dirt and moisture. 105. For cleaning and lubricating rifles, the following are used: a) alkaline composition - for cleaning powder deposits and cleaning rifle parts exposed to powder gases (barrel, bolt, receiver, gas regulator, gas cylinder and pipe); b) gun grease - for lubricating rifle parts after cleaning; c) special gun grease - for lubricating parts of a rifle delivered to a warehouse for storage; d) winter rifle lubricant - for lubricating the bolt, firing mechanism and gas release device after cleaning in the cold season; e) clean and soft (well washed) rags or cotton ends - for cleaning, wiping and lubricating rifle parts; tow , cleared of bonfire, - only for cleaning the bore; f) bristle brushes - for lubricating the bore and chamber after cleaning. The use of other lubricants and cleaning materials is not permitted. Note

. Kerosene can be used to dilute the lubricant, as well as to remove powder deposits. After using kerosene, the rifle parts should be thoroughly wiped with tow and then with a dry and clean rag.

106. To clean the rifle after shooting, training, exercises and training, it is partially disassembled (the receiver cover, return spring, bolt and cleaning rod are separated). Complete disassembly of the rifle is carried out if the rifle is very dirty or has been exposed to rain (snow). In this case: a) if the rifle was exposed to the rain for a short time and the wood of the stock and receiver lining did not swell, then the rifle must be completely disassembled, all metal and wooden parts wiped with a dry rag, cleaned and lubricated; upon completion of cleaning, the rifle must be reassembled; b) if the rifle has been in the rain for a long time and the wood of the stock and receiver lining has swollen, cleaning and lubricating the rifle must be done without separating the stock and receiver lining. Place the cleaned and oiled rifle in a dry room (but not near a heat source) so that the wooden parts dry; After this, perform a complete disassembly and repeat cleaning and lubrication of the rifle.

Cleaning and Lubricating the Rifle

107. The procedure for cleaning and lubricating the rifle: 1. Screw the wiper onto the threaded end of the cleaning rod and secure it with a key. 2. Apply a layer of tow evenly to the rubbing cuts so that the tow enters the channel with little effort, filling the cuts; to do this, fold the tow in the form of a number eight, equal in length to the copper part of the rubbing, and put it on the end of the rubbing with a cross; secure the tow by twisting it in different directions and lay its fibers along the copper part of the rubbing; soak the tow with an alkaline composition. 3. Place the rifle vertically between the knees, insert the ramrod into the channel, after inserting a pin drift into the hole in the ramrod, and push it to approximately half the length of the barrel; tilting the rifle with the butt forward, rest the butt against some object, take the rear end of the muzzle with your left hand and smoothly move the ramrod along the entire length of the channel 7 - 10 times. Then change the tow and, having soaked it with an alkaline composition, wipe the bore again in the same order. After this, wipe the barrel bore dry with a clean rag (first thoroughly wipe the cleaning rod and wipe) and inspect the rag; if traces of soot or rust are visible on the rag, wipe the barrel bore again with tow soaked in an alkaline composition, and then wipe with a dry rag. If the last rag came out of the barrel clean when wiping, that is, without black powder soot and yellow color from rust, turn the rifle and clean the bullet entrance and chamber in the same sequence, passing the cleaning rod through the hole in the receiver bushing. Having finished cleaning the bore and chamber, once again wipe the entire bore dry with a clean rag, and then inspect it carefully in the light on both sides, slowly turning the rifle in your hands; At the same time, pay special attention to the corners of the rifling and grooves on the barrel and chamber slope, since it is most difficult to remove carbon deposits from these places. Having finally made sure that the bore and chamber are clean, lubricate them evenly and lightly with gun lubricant using a bristle brush, for which pour a little gun lubricant from a grease can onto the bristle brush. It is prohibited to lower the brush into the oiler and leave the alkaline composition in the bore. Notes

:
1
.
A rifle in which powder deposits and rust cannot be cleaned off using the method described above should be sent to a gunsmith. 2
.
Barrel bores affected by rust require especially careful cleaning, since powder deposits in them are difficult to clean. 3
. If the cleaning rod gets stuck in the bore, send the rifle to a gunsmith. 4. Clean complex parts of the rifle (receiver, trigger mechanism) using wooden sticks and rags soaked in an alkaline composition; Clean sockets, grooves, and holes with sharpened sticks. After cleaning the parts, wipe them dry with a cloth and lightly lubricate them with gun lubricant. Wipe the outside of the metal parts with dry rags and lightly lubricate them with gun grease. Wipe the stock and receiver lining with dry rags. Do not lubricate with gun grease. Excessive lubricant promotes contamination, so lubricant should be applied to the parts in a thin layer, wiping the parts with a rag soaked in gun lubricant. To lubricate the holes, pass the rag through, and to lubricate the recesses and grooves, wrap it around a wooden stick. At the end of cleaning, the shooter must inspect the assembled rifle, check the correct assembly and operation of the rifle’s mechanisms, wipe and remove the cleaning accessory.

Degassing the rifle

108. If the rifle was exposed to persistent chemical agents in combat, the shooter must, using his personal anti-chemical package, remove drops of chemical agents from parts of the rifle that have to be touched when firing, and then continue shooting. The rifle is completely degassed at the end of the battle. 109. The procedure for complete degassing of a rifle: a) degassing is carried out by fighters in the open air wearing protective gloves, gowns (aprons), boots (protective stockings) and a gas mask under the direction of the squad commander; b) for degassing, prepare: two tanks with a solvent from a mixture of gasoline and kerosene (50% of both) or pure gasoline, rags and tow; dig a hole to dump used materials; c) all metal parts, except the barrel, ramrod and bayonet, are lowered into a tank of solvent and, after thorough washing, wiped dry and lubricated with gun lubricant; the barrel, ramrod and bayonet, as well as the bore, are washed with solvent 2-3 times, first from the first tank, and then from the second with clean solvent, after which they are wiped dry and lubricated with gun lubricant; d) the butt, fore-end and receiver lining are washed with solvent from the second tank, into which no metal parts are placed, and then wiped dry with a rag; this is repeated 2–3 times; e) the gun belt is washed 2-3 times in a clean solvent, dried and lubricated. 110. To completely degas one rifle, 0.5 liters of kerosene and 0.5 liters of gasoline (or 1 liter of gasoline), 300 g of rags and 100 g of tow are required. 111. When degassing, be careful not to get splashes on your uniform or unprotected areas of the body. 112. After degassing, bury all used materials in a prepared hole (or burn); Protective gloves, gowns (apron) and decontaminate the work area. 113. Handle a degassed rifle with care. If the situation allows, test the rifle outdoors for 10–15 hours. 114. To completely remove the chemical agent from the rifle, repeat cleaning and lubricating it for three to four days.

Alkaline gun oil

View gallery

Alkaline weapons maintenance products provide gentle cleaning of mechanism surfaces from traces of gunpowder and old lubricant residues. Using such products as a cleaning base makes it possible to avoid the development of corrosion processes and prevent the appearance of rust in the future.

It should be noted that it is advisable to use alkaline weapon oil only in cases where the main problem in operating the existing weapon is clogging of parts with gunpowder. It is obvious that for this reason such bases are not suitable for servicing air rifles.

For what purposes should you buy gun oil?

Quite often, people purchase weapons thinking only about the purposes for which they will be used and completely lose sight of the need to care for them.
Without proper attention, “barrels” lose not only their external gloss, but also their ballistic characteristics. One of the most commonly used tools are specialized oils and lubricants, which allow not only to clean the barrel itself, but also to give the mechanisms the required quality of operation. Of course, different types of oils have their own price and functional characteristics. For example, alkaline is very effective for cleaning surfaces from gunpowder residues. It is wise to buy neutral gun oil for treating the prepared surfaces of regularly used guns. As for lubricants, they are usually used for long-term preservation of weapons or for partial protection of parts most susceptible to friction. Therefore, if you are a fan of seasonal hunting and want to put your carbine on the back burner until the start of the next season, then you should think about its proper conservation in advance.

Today, spray packaging has become widespread. This method of application allows the substance to be applied to hard-to-reach surfaces. Ballistol gun oil is very popular in the form of a spray in containers of 400, 200 and 50 milliliters.

Universal oil

Universal products make it possible to clean and maintain almost any type of small arms, both military and hunting. All-purpose gun oil is successfully used not only by users who regularly operate a rifle. Such products are suitable for processing parts when preparing them for long-term storage.

The use of universal oil becomes the optimal solution when it is necessary to restore the former functionality of a weapon whose parts are in a deplorable, extremely neglected condition.

Among the most popular, widespread and truly effective universal products, it is worth highlighting Ballistol weapon oil. This brand also produces neutral and alkaline products.

Solvents

Solvents are a separate type of means for maintaining and cleaning functional elements of weapons. The latter perfectly eat away accumulated dirt, traces of soot, old oil, remove rust, lead, and neutralize the effects of exposure to aggressive chemical environments on metal.

After completing the cleaning procedure, solvents are easily removed from surfaces. Their use makes it possible to best prepare machine parts for lubricant application.

The use of solvents is recommended during routine weapon maintenance operations. In this case, it is advisable to have on hand the entire necessary set of tools, a cleaning machine, consumables in the form of all kinds of patches, napkins, cleaning rods, and rags. This is the only way to increase the speed and ease of work.

Among the most effective and popular products, it is worth noting the following brands of solvents:

Hoppe's Elite Gun Cleaner is an ideal base for removing lead and carbon deposits. The product has no unpleasant odor, is non-toxic and has biodegradable properties, which is an excellent quality for users who are concerned about the environmental friendliness of the products they use.
Armistol Solvit is an effective weapon cleaning product that neutralizes carbon deposits, metal contaminants, and eliminates the impact of harmful salts and gunpowder residues on the surface.
Hoppe's 9 Synthetic is a popular solvent that can be used to clean gun barrels. It is one of the most powerful means that can remove outdated rust and lead from surfaces.

Gun lubricant NANOPROTECH

NANOPROTECH is a company with ten years of experience in developing moisture-proof and anti-corrosion products for industrial and domestic use.

The latest advances in nanotechnology were used to create each product.

In today's world, $2.2 trillion is lost annually due to metal corrosion. This data is provided by the World Corrosion Organization. According to economists, this is 3.1% of world GDP! How to reduce the damage from corrosion, at least for your car? Everything is in our hands, because there are products from the world leader in the fight against corrosion, and these products are called Nanoprotek. Today this series is the best corrosion protection in the world.

We are the official distributor of the manufacturer and offer different series of products. There are special means convenient for motorists. It is based on universal scientific developments, at the same time, everything is done in such a way that it is as comfortable as possible to treat car components and assemblies with silicone lubricants, special aerosols, and cleaners.

A large series of products is designed specifically for cyclists and motorcyclists. And although products for cars and motorcycles have a similar formula for affecting metal, they have their own specifics. These products will provide maximum protection in the most extreme conditions.

Were you waiting for a universal series? She is! There is a liquid key, and electrical contact cleaners, and lubricants for them... Such products will help at home, in the country, in the car - in a word, they will be useful wherever there is a need to protect metal parts from exposure to air, water, and weather conditions.

Do you think that conventional means are not enough? Then choose Nanoprotech Super-series or anti-rain series. Where there is an increased risk of exposure to oxygen or moisture, they will be just the thing: they will save, protect, and provide a guarantee that metal parts, components, assemblies, and contacts will remain intact, and no chemical processes can cause them significant harm.

How do Nanoprotek brand products work?

The World Corrosion Organization estimates that 25% of metal damage can be avoided by using simple, well-understood prevention methods. But Nanoprotek manufacturers believe that total protection from negative effects is possible! An effective prevention system is based on the fact that exposed metal parts can be covered with a thin film that will protect them. That is why the products are produced in various forms - so that it is possible to bring protection to hard-to-reach components and assemblies.

Means for neutralizing copper plating of the barrel

View gallery

Another type of base for weapon maintenance is products that help eliminate the effect of copper plating on surfaces. This phenomenon is the most common “disease” of rifled weapons. Basically, a noticeable effect of copper plating of the metal occurs after firing from 150 to 300 shots without cleaning the rifle. As a result, the shooting accuracy characteristics are significantly reduced. One cannot but attach importance to copper plating also due to the formation of a galvanic layer on the surfaces, which contributes to the development of corrosion processes.

Lubricant for airsoft gun care

To extend the life of an airsoft weapon, you need to properly care for it. Each owner of the drive must remember that it requires regular cleaning and lubrication, which should be carried out after shooting, prolonged exposure of the product to the open air, long-term storage and to remove conservation grease.

Before cleaning, you need to take care of important equipment: a cleaning rod for cleaning the barrel, rags for roughing and finishing, sharpened wooden sticks that will help clean hard-to-reach places and, of course, lubricant .

When starting to clean your weapon, you should remove moisture and condensation using a dry cloth. It is not necessary to disassemble the drive each time for cleaning. When the process is completed, the weapon is also wiped with a clean rag, and then a thin layer of lubricant is applied to the metal parts.

Special lubricant for weapons comes in various types, so some manufacturers offer it directly in the kit. The fact is that a different type of lubrication is also required for each component part of the drive. For example, to lubricate the gears, you will need litol24, the piston system is lubricated with silicone from a cylinder, and a neutral lubricant is suitable for the barrel. One way or another, the lubricant protects the metal from corrosion and ensures good ball release.

For greater accuracy, you should study the instructions for the airsoft weapon, which indicate certain points that require processing and acceptable types of lubricants. It must be remembered that excess lubricant becomes an attraction for dirt and dust. For this reason, if the weapon is not being prepared for long-term storage, then a particularly minimal layer of lubricant is required.

For example, lubrication of the trigger mechanism is recommended only after 1500-2000 shots have been fired. Having completed processing of the trigger mechanism, it is necessary to check whether the fuse, feed and loading system operate reliably.

You should start cleaning your airsoft weapon from the barrel. In this case, first a cleaning rod is used, which is replaced with a visher with a rag, and then the barrel is thoroughly wiped. Sometimes, instead of rags, special felt cylinders are used, put on a cleaning rod.

At the end of cleaning, it is recommended to use a clean white cloth: when the airsoft weapon is thoroughly cleaned, no traces of dirt remain. Otherwise, cleaning must be repeated. After cleaning the surface of the barrel bore from the inside, it is necessary to cover it with a thin layer of special neutral lubricant.
