Cleaning ye slingbacker

evilrobotshane · 2011-02-26 13:52:33

My trusty workhorse, the Tokyo Marui Five-seveN, has earned itself a bit of a clean, because there's grit and such in there and I'm feeling benevolent. How deep of a clean is normal though? There isn't any obvious happy medium between just removing the slide and exploding it into a million tiny bits. Do I want to take it…

There isn't any obvious happy medium between just removing the slide and exploding it into a million tiny bits. Do I want to take it apart completely, bathe each screw and spring and then fail to figure out how to get it back together again, or is shoving a cotton bud into every crevice I can see with the slide off sufficient?

Field strip it, that is to say remove any bits you can without tools, slide, barrel, return spring ect. Clean the barrel, rails ect and lube the rails, spring guide and trigger mech, don't over do the oiling as excess oil is a dirt magnet. Use oily cloth and wipe it down or spray the silicone oil on and wipe it off with a cloth leaving a thin film of oil.
