GUN SCRUBBER

After using Gun Scrubber on my H&K for the 3rd time it dawned on me:

Should I be doing a full take-down on my USP4O in order to lube all the parts that I just blasted with the stuff, like firing pin etc. The manual does not suggest this nor give instructions on a full take down. What do you think?? TIA.

I have since ditched the Scrubber for MPro7.
 
MPro7 also degreases completely. I clean and lubricate assemblies with a toothbrush and Breakfree CLP. I used to do it with Brake Cleaner (the same as Gun Scrubber) but stopped for the same reason.

Excess CLP can be blown off the action with compressed air (like air-in-a-can). Very little lube is necessary for me in these areas.

Good Luck,

Ledbetter

I use Gun Scrub exclusively on my Glocks and Sigs and have absolutely no problems with it. They function flawlessly. When cleaning the Glock, I use a Q-tip to put a small amount of Tetra in the striker channel, but don't do a full strip.

The cleaners like Gun Scrubber do a good job of taking off dirt and crud. They also remove all traces of protective oil and lubrication. When I clean with Gun Scrubber, I make sure I apply a good gun oil afterwards. Actually, I prefer G96 Gun Treatment, which cleans and also preserves, but even it does not provide enough lubricant.

I thought the whole point of G96 was that it cleans off the gunk and leaves adequate lube behind.

I clean all my guns with G96--no additional lubrication. I occasionally use GunScrubber or Hoppes first, for barrel fouling or thick crud. Mostly because I am trying to use my can of GunScrubber, which has lasted longer than I expected.

Anyway, after the G96 they certainly feel lubricated enough (slide & hammer movement, etc.) even after being is storage for a month or two.

Am I gonna wear out my guns early by not using additional lube?
 
"When cleaning the Glock, I use a Q-tip to put a small amount of Tetra in the striker channel, but don't do a full strip."

That's a big no no with Glocks. The striker channel doesn't need lube as it has a plastic sleeve that permits the pin to travel freely. Adding lube, no matter how small the amount, can contribute to crud building up in this critical area. See http://glockmeister.com/glubric.html

Doesn't seen to be a prob after thousands of rounds, constant submergings, and daily usage as a duty weapon. By small amount, I meant bearly enuf to dampen a Q-tip. There is never, and I mean never an accumulation of any kind. Been doing this for seven years without a malfunction of any kind. And my weapons get used a great deal in adverse conditions.

By the way another big no no is performing any kind of service on your own pistol(as per Glockmeister). I'm sure everyone heeds that advice too.

One,

I'm not trying to flame you. Do what suits you. IMHO the guys at Glockmeister and the Glock cetified armorer I spoke with just might know a bit about Glocks. Their advice, as the link I posted shows, is that the striker channel doesn't need any lube. That's why the plastic sleeve is there.
