Is it just me and my ammo, or is 22LR always this dirty?!
I really enjoy shooting my MkIII. Even my FTE issues seem to be resolving now that I am am using standard to subsonic ammo.
However, everytime I go shooting, I clean the gun afetrward and it looks like it was thrown around on a beach for half an hour!
Inside the receiver area there is a thick grey paste everywhere, even though I didn't go mad on the lube last time, and in the trigger mechanism and magwell, there was loads of oily, gritty residue. When I'm shooting, I don't put my gun in the dirt. I shelter it from any rain etc, so is all 22LR ammo like that?
Cleaning my rifle is going to take most of the afternoon!
