Good solvents and cleaning procedure for ar15’s?

Hey all 👋🏽 I was wondering if someone could list the steps of properly cleaning and decreasing an AR 15 in the correct order?(I have a chrome lined barrel and phosphate chrome lined bcg) (Don’t have the money for an ultrasonic cleaner at the moment , but can budget for one in the future so feel free to comment a process with that becuse I will eventually get one, but for now I would like to stick to non soaking)

I’ve been using Hoppes #9 for a minute, but I want to stay away from ammonia based solvents because of my chrome lined barrel. I am also using Lucas oil products extreme duty gun oil what solvents will be okay with the lube I use? I’ve heard that some solvents and lubes really shouldn’t mix together so I’m basically needing a solvent that can work around the lube I use. Is Boretech any good? Also what degreasers do you guys use? I am currently using CRC brakleen brake parts cleaner, high strength formula non-chlorinated for the degreaser is this ok? I know this is a lot of questions, but would really appreciate some solid advice, Thank you.

Accessories Drop $700 for both TYD!!--2x New 22 BRA Barrels for Defiance Rukus/Tenacity/Anti/Classic

==========================

So.....I am a 22 BR kind of guy, the two barrels I have used up from PVA where hammers. I really like shooting this round.

I ordered two more, but apparently selected 22 BRA instead of 22 BR in the drop down. Got them a few weeks ago, went to spin one on yesterday, and noticed my error.

I did fire 12 rounds through one barrel, then decided I was to invested in 22 BR to make the jump...and just ordered two new 22 BR barrels.

- PVA Osprey, Proof Comp Contour
- One barrel, 0 rounds, One barrel 12 rounds
- 26", 5/8-24, no finish
- .255 Nk, .120 freebore
- 1:7, RH, 0.219 bore

My loss, your gain. Keeping as a pair. Zelle, CashApp, check, or MO.

Will include 12 pieces fire formed brass!

Time to call for the ban of bats!!



If bats weren’t so easy to get……we need background checks and mandatory proper storage for bats so mentally I’ll people can’t get them.

Non Lead Ammo push, could it threaten shooting sports as we know it?

Full Disclosure: Over the past week I approached Frank with bringing up this topic. And we are in agreement that this is an important topic which could affect hunters, competition shooters and anyone concerned with 2A rights. I provided Frank with a link to a thread on this highly volatile topic and he gave me the green light to post this thread. We agreed on the basic premise that this tactic is a threat to our lifestyle.
There are groups within the hunting world pushing for non lead ammo. They claim they do not want a non lead ammo ban, and this post is not to argue over that claim. This post is to explore how this non lead ammo push could lead to a lead ammo ban. The specifics of this one group is that lead ammo is poisoning the eagle population and leading to deaths of eagles, raptors, and other animals. And lead is being found in animals, I can agree that this does happen. But the degree of danger to the population is in question. Some call this "junk science" as described to me by one mechanical engineer to use emotion rather than science to stop lead ammo use. One simple argument is that the eagle population has quadrupled since 2009 as noted in this NPR article ( https://www.npr.org/2021/03/25/981272794/ once-imperiled-americas-bald-eagle-populations-are-soaring ). If this is true then it seems lead ammo isn't a threat that requires banning as President Biden wanted in 2022 ( https://sportsmensalliance.org/news/biden-administration-moves-to-ban-lead-ammunition/ ). Frank brought up a recent push to ban lead ammo on private lands in Colorado. Sorry Frank I couldn't find it.
Though this push is mostly directed towards hunters I see it as a threat to all shooters. If forced to shoot lead free ammo only I could see ammo price double. COVID already has elevated our prices and as handloader I'm at the brink of affording shooting even with cutting back on my rounds downrange. I can't even imagine paying full ammo prices that we see today. If they ever get a lead ammo ban for hunters it's a easy push just to ban lead ammo period IMO. And if that happens then IMO our 2A rights will vanish in a generation, maybe sooner.
No need to attack me as I've stated my OPINION and I'm sure it will stand. I've watched groups like this push for lead bans in fishing and hunting going back for probably thirty years. And I've watched them go after 2A Rights for over forty years. I recognize their tactics, and I abhor them. It's the same tactic used to go after sugar drinks, nicotine, or even petroleum fuel. If you can't ban it make it too cost prohibitive. Feel free to kindly talk amongst yourselves. If you find good articles on the subject post them for scrutiny. If Frank disagrees with my post he is free to delete it with no hard feelings. xsn10s out.

Edit: I should add I found many articles in the past few years of how Colorado is pushing for either lead ammo bans and even a new approach. SUBSIDIZING lead free ammo. Another new tactic.

Accessories SOLD - Manners PRS-TCS

Manners PRS-TCS in Elite Highland Camo. Used it for one competition. No issues. I love this stock. I actually replaced it with another TCS but went with a different color scheme.

Stock Specifications:
Remington 700 Short Action
Double Dead TCS Shell
MCS-DBM Mini Chassis
Area 419 Arca Rail (1 weight)
Elite Highland Camo Molded


There is a small scratch on the bottom of the arca rail (pictured).

***Please note that I did cut the cheek piece in order to remove the bolt. I had Manners cut it originally, but it wasn't low enough to remove my bolt. I was going to paint it, but I figured I would leave that decision up to the buyer so they could do whatever they wanted with it. Please see pictures.***

SOLD

No trades at this time please. Thank you.
