  • Gun cleaning is a religious experience for some and a "never tried it before" for others. It should be a fast process that hits the areas that matter and focuses on reliability, not museum quality restoration. Here we do a quickie on how to clean a gun. Use what you've got.

    I agree. Simpler is adequate.
    One note I will add for guns with compensators and/or lights: spraying some “anti-spatter” spray (welders know what I’m talking about) to the comp and/or light bezel does seem to help with cleaning and reducing buildup.
    I didn’t come up with it; just heard it from another competitor about 7 months ago. Tried it and have been doing it for multiple guns since then.

    These things will run dirty. I put over 10k through one with only a simple break down and quick wipe every 1500-2000 rounds. Little oil and off to the races. Never had any issues

    My new CR920 needed a deep clean after the initial break in. Striker channel and striker safety had to be pulled to clean the channel as it got really gritty. I think mine was just over oiled during my break in. After that deep clean, it's all back to normal and runs great. You guys have me hooked now, looking at full size options for my next purchase.

    What’s the recommended cleaning cycle for set screw compensators? Maybe another tech video for applications using the set screw style compensator. I like them clean, but don’t want to wear out the set screw design on the comp 😆. Great video as always thank you!!

    Question: on page 27 of the manual it discusses lubrication and there is a picture that shows where trigger bar touches connector. At the exact point where the red arrow points in that picture I am seeing that kind of gunky manufacturer whitish gray lubricant or whatever that is. Is that okay to wipe off, or should I leave it be and oil over top of it?

  • @jessemartinez2475
    @jessemartinez2475 Год назад

    Excellent video. My cr 920 starts to miss fire every or around 200 to 300 rounds. I have to take out the firing pin and clean the channel. It's always has brass shavings and debris. Not sure if it will stop any time soon. Not a big deal. I'm not a gung-ho type of guy but if you have a fire arm you really need to shoot it a lot because problems like this could happen at the worst time.

    I also typically run a little extra lubricant on my guns, but I live in Florida and want to avoid any possible rust accumulation.
    The only issue I have is that my concealed carry gun loves to collect lint on all those lubed surfaces…

    Hi SS Corp. I have an MR920 elite. Little over 1300 rounds through it. Somewhere above 500 round mark, I started getting failure to get into battery at least once per magazine. Mag bump to the base helps the gun go into battery every single time and clear the issue every time. Happens when the gun is clean or dirty. It is lubed properly. Do you have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
