Default RE: new remingtons

mossy, ya know I've seen the M16, andM4 in the Desert's of Iraq, Afganastan, and the town of Mogadishu and the same is said.But if you maintain the thing the right way which may not be how the manufacture recomends or the Military,it works, same with the 7400. Clean the bore with Sweets 7.62, clean the bolt and action with Hoppes and blast all with brake cleaner and let dry. Lightlylube the area's that Need lube with Mil-Comm grease. The biggest mistake made with the 7400 is people clean the barrel with the bolt locked back and it gets solvent and crud in the action. Solvent gels after some time and collects more crud, and eventually will hang up the bolt or some other failure.
