Robocop1051 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 NiB can get a burnt discoloration. It doesn't effect the NiB. You should be using FireClean to prolong your NiB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 You should be using FireClean to prolong your NiB. It's a little too late for that. Ed, you are a very dirty girl... <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Ed Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Lol need to get some simple green maybe some rem oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 When it gets nasty like that, I just use carb cleaner. Blast that stuff on there, and it starts getting the junk off pretty quick. Or, a solvent tank. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikedaddyH Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Its not that dirty. The lube collects the soot on the BCG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Didn't know 4064 was so dirty That can depend on many factors with almost any Powder in an AR type rifle . Barrel length , gas system , weight of the projectile's being used & even the primer used for the loading . Round count one way or the other can also have a impact . I have been using WC 846 Powder for many years & its a pretty dirty burning powder , but when used in some loadings , is not so dirty. I would imagine the new Powders , like CFC , that have a supposedly anti fouling formula , would be clean with any loading combo . Since most of the popular Powders have been unavailable for a very long time , we have had to use not so popular Powders , even though they work great , not the first choice to use with our caliber or loadings for them . The AR ,DI gas system, is a dirty system & its just the way it is . Be it scraping the tail of the Bolt or the Piston of a piston system , burnt Powder residue is going to collect some where & will need cleaning .
