Thread: Is this Powder or ??

Stuff out there called "Air Duster" Bunnings those type of outlets sell them but expensive air, about $18 a can. Still think you need to clean first, as if there is powder there will also be other particles from the firing procedure.

Just use a toothbrush or similar with a drop of whatever oil you use and flick/scrub the "fouling" out of there . It is all I do , and that includes the action .

Looks like what my CMMG AR.22 trigger group used to look like after shooting CCI subs with the can on.
I used to spray brake cleaner to get all the crap put and then a light oil on the moving parts after.

semi 22wmr and 17hmr rifles are so hard to get going properly
there's been recalls from multiple manufactures over the years
