[KernalOfTruth]

whoa, not expert at this obviously. maybe spend some time doing this before you film and you'll have it down.

@KernalOfTruth Tnx for your useless comment...one of many I see...ass.

Adding some more.

It might come as a suprise but the Romanians chrome plated the bores of their Tokarevs.

I have a bunch of Romanian corrosive 7.62, shot my gun, cleaned everything but the barrel bore and let it sit for two weeks just to see what might happen.

Inside turned a funky blue-green orange color but cleaned right out with a nylon brush and some M-Pro 7 cleaner, no damage to the rifling at all.

It might suprise you how much "corrosive crap" gets into all kinds of nooks and crannies.

Almost all modern corrosive ammunition uses potassium chlorate compounds and plain old hot water does a super, non stinky, job of cleaning them off the metal.

Older mercurial compounds require ammonia to properly neutralize. HTH

Throw it in bucket of Vodka, then shout at it that cowardice or jams will result in Stalin deporting it to Siberia.

Then load and fire. It will function flawlessly.

@RedArmyCommissar  You know, I'm reading the Partisans Companion right now, which is a translation of the manual issued to Soviet partisans early in WW2...and they damn near say the same thing! Only they say use kerosine in a pinch to clear fouling...but I'm like, it's that going to catch fire if you do that during a gun battle? But it's right there in the f'ing manual...I should do some vids on that!

@RedArmyCommissar Onmilo chuckles,,,,,

@RedArmyCommissar why isnt there stand up comedy strictly focused on us firearm enthusiasts??

[762hillboy]

great video...i would oil the rails and i also use pipe cleaners on my guns...im working on a how to clean a ak/akm the gas hole in the barrel is such a big part and alot of people dont say shit about it.

[20thcenturyfilmdocs]

@762hillboy Tnx, you're defintely right about that...and it's such a pain to clean too!

[littleandres09]

Nice Tokarev. i want one!!! last month at the gun show, no one had a Tokarev. i need to hurry up and get my c&r license!

[20thcenturyfilmdocs]

@littleandres09 Yeah, it's REALLY hard to find these at gun shows for some reason...probably because they're cheaper than shit! Mos def, you need a C&R license, just 2-3 purchase with it will MORE than pay for the $30 fee to get the 3-year license...because you'll avoid $15-$50 in FFL dealer transfer fees!
