Another Saiga man I see.

Were you giving the AK a bath to wash off some corrosive ammo residue?

Any chance you could do an AK bolt face on the back and on the left breast a circle ten, Izhmash, or other arsenal mark (I'd love a Norinco mark for my MAK90)? It would a be a rip off of several other shirts, mostly WolfsburgBob over at AKFiles but he doesn't sell them any more. I'm wearing one right now, wish I would have bought a couple more.

Bingo. I have been a bachelor for 3 years now, my choice, I can do such things in my house as bathe my guns when I shoot corrosive ammo, or even put them in the dishwasher. Ahh! Its good man!

What kind of soap do you use to wash the AK?

What kind of soap do you use to wash the AK?

I fill up the kitchen sink with "Dawn" dish washing detergent, and hot tap water. I use a .45 caliber mop to wash out the gas tube, and a regular .30 caliber cleaning rod for the barrel. Tooth brushes come in handy for everything else. I then rinse everything with clean, hot tap water. After that I blow everything dry with compressed air and liberally give everything a good soaking with WD-40, then another compressed air blow job. I then oil everything, reassemble, and I'm good to go. It doesn't take long at all and with this method you know you are removing any and all traces of corrosive salts from the gun. This method works so well and is so easy I clean all of my AK's the same no matter if I shoot corrosive or non corrosive ammunition. Bill T.

Dawn works quite well. 12 Ga brush for the gas tube, and toothbrushes, not in current use for pret near everything else.

Tub or hose works, just have to make sure you blow water out and use a oil or some other rust preventer.

+1.

The reason I use the kitchen sink as opposed to the bathtub is my kitchen sink is Stainless Steel, and my bathtub is Fiberglas, and it scratches and stains easily. Bill T.

If you need a compressed air supply, but are on a tight budget, or else live in an apartment, Harbor Freight has several small, inexpensive models that work great for gun cleaning. I have a large, high capacity unit out in the garage, but I have to move the car to use it so I bought this model from Harbor Freight. It allows me to clean my guns out on the back patio, or else in the kitchen on crummy days. Bill T.

It is a good way to force you to clean out the tub. My tub stays pretty clean. I wash guns in the tub, and heat cure finishes on parts in the oven.
My house my rules. No more marraige for me.
