Cleaning your rifle after firing Corrosive Surplus Military Ammunition
This video details the critical process of cleaning rifles after firing corrosive surplus ammunition, specifically the 7.62x54R caliber. It highlights the necessity of using water-based or ammonia-based cleaners like Windex or hot soapy water to neutralize hygroscopic salts left by corrosive primers, preventing rust and pitting. The demonstration uses a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 and emphasizes proper cleaning techniques from the chamber end with a .311 bore brush.
