how to clean the plug

[rob072770]

I just ran around 60 rds in the P308 I broke it down to clean and I could not get the plug clean.  I tried every carbon cleaner and even broke out my dermel tool with some bore polish. still not new clean. any ideas?  It sure shoots sweet. I like my guns squeaky clean. As always thanks for the info.

The only experience with gas plug cleaning that I have is with FN,M14 & M1 garrands & you need to scrape that crap off, not pretty but it works.

Dull knife blade of proper strength ,even a small sharpened screw driver .

Not sure what your POF plug looks like ,but I'll bet its not much different than the ones mentioned above.

Maybe Kano Laboratories "Kroil."  I buy mine locally at a gun shop by the pint.  I think MidwayUSA sells it in half-pint cans.  Put a drop of Kroil on the parts and let it soak for a while.  I have had/seen results in time frames ranging from minutes to weeks.  The long time frame was a big item at work that was rusted solid.  Kroil is a penetrating oil that never gives up.  Kroil is good for getting leading and copper deposits out of barrels,  too.  Just give it time to do its thing.

I tried a 50/50 mixture of Koil and shooters choice and that did not work I will try 100% and see what happens. Thnaks for the info.

Please let us know.  It might take considerable time or the chemistry of Kroil might not do well with the chemistry of hot gas & high pressure deposits on the gun.

I use MPro-7 and steel wool and it works just fine. It's nowhere near as difficult to clean is you use good ammo. If you run crap through it like Wolf, Bear, Tula, or Monarch then it will get pretty dirty.
