If the primers all stay in place, how does enough primer 'salt' get into the action or hit the bolt face?
Where else in the action should these rifles be wiped with a wet patch (and dried)?
The latest rifle is my first Mauser (48A), also a LE #4 and two #5s.
Have used corrosive ammo for two years, with no visible damage, and mostly clean just the bores with Windex or hot water/dry, and wipe/dry the bolt faces.
Just now having read about complex cleaning procedures on the M48 section of "Surplusrifle", and have read numerous other tedious methods. Have become a hard-core fan of certain classic military rifles, and nothing else.
