OK people this post is about gun maintenance and cleaning. It is better to have your gun cleaned the right way. It is better for the firearm to be completely torn down at least once a year to make sure all screws are able to move. Iam griping because I get high in guns in where they are afraid to clean them or just tear them apart once a year now all the screws are seized and unable to move without destroying them little simple things keep guns from getting damaged
