Finally got a “black” gun

I broke down over vacation and picked up a
Bushmaster X15 A4. Standard model which is fine. I really wanted a basic AR without having to spend more on optics and such. So far so good. I have put a 100 rounds through it and learned how to tear it down. (and re-assemble!)
As far as cleanin goes is there a special kit available for this type of gun with tool shaped for the job? Especially the bore area. I can hardly touch that area with conventional cleaning tools. Otherwise everything is pretty easy to get at. Another question is on Lube. Should I be buying a certian brand or consistency? I read about CLP in the manual. I normally use REM Oil for everything and did just use it on my AR cleanup. But REM oil may be a tad thin for this application? I have used it for years on all my other semi-automatics.

I know in the military, we always had Break Free. Worked great

Might want to ask some of these on the home town form of AR15.com Great place bor the Evil Black Rifles

Yep. Already have. Great place for info. Thanks.

THe little bro is the mod over there and a cert armorer if you want to really learn to tear it down and he can get you a list of stuff to get for maintainance. Yes there is a chamber brush specific to cleaning out you chamber too

Thanks again. I jumped right into it and tore it completly apart. The fear is gone. Since I will rarely shoot it I opted to purchase a government issue field kit. Its cheap and along with my other cleaning stuff will definitely get the job done. Ammo is easy to find too. I’m finding it between .40-.50 per round. Not cheap but at least I can get enough for me to shoot as much as I want.

We reload ammo for 223 if we do another big batch sometime i’ll let you know if you want to get in about 4 of use get together and load a ton on our dillion 650

That sounds cool. I would be interested. Maybe even some hunting type bullits.

Mike, Breakfree is OK…but Militech or Militek, I gotta look on my bottle for the correct spelling…any gunsmith or gun geek worth their salt uses this. It is 100% synthetic and not prone to thickening in cold. It is also recommended for use in all CC weapons, especially double action semis that sit in pockets for a while.

Yup run it on your bolt while shooting. Save a lot of trouble later.
