Magazine Day

[druryj]

It's Magazine Day! As in cleaning them, that is. I am going to disassemble, clean and reassemble all my mags for my M11-A1, Walther PPS M2, and Sig P365. I may decide to tackle the mags for my Ruger MK IV as well.

I've found an old bottle brush sprayed with M-Pro 7 (or whatever you have) works well, followed by a clean rag, some Q-tips under the mag's lips and then a good wipe down on the outside with a lightly oiled rag. No lube on the inside! Clean the springs with a rag; M-Pro 7 (or whatever) first, followed by a dry one. Pay attention to the followers too, wipe cleaner on; rub against a rough old towel; Q-tips; done!

Don't neglect this chore. Mags are the heart and soul of a defensive pistol. Why go to the trouble to clean your gun and then load it up with a filthy magazine? Derp!

Clean your mags. Or...review the procedures for clearing malfunctions.

That is all.

Not particularly, more like guilty.

I’m not going to disassemble them all at once...but yeah, I got my six covered. Plus, there’s a 12 GA pump around here somewhere...

We've got to get him a pass. He's burning up with Cabin Fever.

Ah, 12 gauge. Now you're talking my lingo brother. One in the house and the marine coated one strategically located elsewhere.

....will you come and clean mine, ...perhaps ...wear an "cleaning outfit" ....suitable for a man of your taste. ?

I instantly thought magazine day was when you threw the old stack out that is next to the throne in the library and placed new ones there. Hmmm. Learned something new today.
