Because I don’t need to.Why don't you just remove the barrel to clean it? Why leave it on the gun and fold the stock?
Boretech and a few patches and it’s clean

Seen this one on their Socials! Is it for you?full send with the Vision treatment from the boys over at GCP, almost there![]()

Thank you.I would second getting a folder..
Even if you buy some aftermarket thumbscrews to remove the cheekpiece.. you will still cut your knuckles up when running a rod through the barrel on the chassis (unless you buy an ultra long cleaning rod)
I now don't have that issue though as I've dropped my AT into a Vision Chassis.
I’ll second this I need some tooThank you.
Who makes the aftermarket thumb screws?

Yeah man, that’s mine.Seen this one on their Socials! Is it for you?
God that stuff works like magic. I held off so long on spending that kind of money for a solvent but I’m glad I did.Because I don’t need to.

I always used hopped and sweets too. The smell is something you never forgerGod that stuff works like magic. I held off so long on spending that kind of money for a solvent but I’m glad I did.
The boomer in me was always like “Sweets and Hoppes 9 are the way to go”
::years of hours and brain cells lost later::
“Let me try this BT stuff.”

Which Boretech solvent(s) do you use? I have eliminator and find it works pretty well at dissolving copper but is weak on carbon?
I'm always looking for a magic bullet when it comes to cleaning, will check out Wipe Out also.
InterestingFor what it's worth I've talked to a well respected barrel head guy here and while he doesn't hate BT he has seen quite a bit of issue with regards to corrosion. I sent my barrel in for evaluation because of some abnormal pitting in the last 4" of barrel. He asked if I shot it suppressed (always) and if i used boretech. He believes a the BT stuff that isn't dry patched out and immediately followed up by a good oil cause premature pitting ESPECIALLY when shot suppressed.
I was all in on BT until this experience. Not rushing what are now $450 barrel blanks
Sporting Services sell them here in the UK... unsure about rest of the worldThank you.

Sheeeet! if BT carbon remover is going to be like that I might as well pull back out my big jug o' CLR (at least it's cheap.) As long as any of these chemicals are used sparingly and patched out with IPA & dry patches afterwards it can't be that bad.For what it's worth I've talked to a well respected barrel head guy here and while he doesn't hate BT he has seen quite a bit of issue with regards to corrosion.

I know who this guy is lol@TheBigCountry @TylerN
His other least favorite is people using CLR haha! again he said they work but you need to be extra cautious about cleaning the cleaner out and protecting the barrel after.
I had typically always run 2 dry patches after cleaning, then 1 soaked in slip2000 and then 1 dry. Apparently that wasn't enough using it with BT. Of the things I had on hand he said just go back to Hoppes 9.
Probably... he's really the only active one around lol. Just didn't want to spell it out there. Chances are if you talked to him he'd tell you the same but that's for him to say.I know who this guy is lol

All in here. ATX is the last kid born in the family and gets Special attention despite it still being one of multiple kids. The Gen-Z of the AI world.So there’s this thread and the pinned ATX thread. Is there an AX thread somewhere or is it lumped into this thread?

Get the folder
Make fun of me all you want but Harbor Freight has their Apache cases on sale for $120 so I figured I'd treat the Ole girl. For its price I think she'll do just fine.

Brutal, just brutal...looks like you are still using a nokia from 2002 as well![]()
@Huskydriver i think had his for sale here a while agoIs $8000.00 for an MC (338) like new condition okay number?
Here it isIf you’re shopping @toygunner has a solid deal posted.
Well it just hasn't died yetlooks like you are still using a nokia from 2002 as well![]()
Thanks for detailed answer man appreciate it. This one does not come with anything else. Gonna pass@Huskydriver i think had his for sale here a while ago
You see them for $6700-$7000 here. And they sit at that price sometimes
Sold mine for $8500 I think. That was with all 3 bolts and 6.5 and 300 PRC barrels. Wasn’t instantly sold and based my asking price off searching this site for sold MC’s
Of course with the price increase it maybe more now. I’d think $7000 would be a reasonable counter offer based on what I’ve seen here
I was just messing around. I am always behind on that trend myself as well.Well it just hasn't died yet. Still on the original battery charge!
I'm 5'7 with a long torso.... you know how hard it is to stretch so you can crop out your feet and take a picture before you tumble over? Lol
