Most used NFA item?

[emt1581]

For those of you who own multiple NFA items...which (specifically) get the most use? Why?

Out of those who own one NFA item, does that item see more range time/use than your other non-NFA stuff?

I'll share my experience/opinion.

I loooovvveee my suppressor, but it's a pain to clean the settup (MKII + Suppressor). When I use it, it's for roughly two hundred rounds at the range and then I clean it. It takes about an hour to clean properly. Compare that to the 15-20 mins it takes me to clean my Glocks, and it is the reason I don't use it more.

Ok, your turn ;)

Thanks!

Cheapest cost to shoot. Cleaning is part of shooting any gun.

UZI.It is easier to clean than the M16s are.

emt: If it takes you 15-20 minutes to clean your Glock(s), you're being too much of a fanatic on cleaning. My idea of cleaning a Glock is to run one dry patch through the barrel 2 or 3 times, then wipe off the breech face and feed ramp. I'm done in about 30 seconds. And I only do that much cleaning because I feel guilty if I don't wipe the dirt off.

I'm not familiar with your suppressor but not all are that dirty nor require that amount of cleaning. I have yet to clean my SRT Hurricane, and the manufacturer even told me not to spend much time cleaning it. My CAC-9 can gets nasty with the watery soot it spits out, but I see no need to clean it either. For the machine guns, I just wipe the bolts down good and lube with CLP. Detail clean the M16 bolt and carrier every 5000 rounds or so to get rid of carbon build-up.

If this sounds like I'm real lazy, you're right! Spend less time cleaning, more time shooting.

To answer one of your other questions, the NFA items do indeed see the most range use. The semi-auto stuff are safe queens.

Still Thinking? But,I have to axe why all the cleaning? Maybe I'm just nuts but most of my suppressors get quieter with a certain degree of filth a goin on in there.

Oh Yeah It Has Got To be My Phone With Out A Doubt;)

Honestly, I guess I'm just a neat freak. There's just something about "cleaning" that excites me. ;)

Knowing there is no gunk and dirt (other than microscopic particles) in my piece gives me a good feeling. It not only means I can set my toys on my floor/bed without them leaving powder marks, but it also means at any time I can select anything from my briefcase and know that it won't fail because it was to full of residue, powder, etc.

Whenever I come home from the range, it's pretty much a ritual that we both set out the cleaning kit and the newspaper, glove up, sit on the floor and completely strip down to bare barrel and frame and then begin cleaning the smallest parts first and setting them to the left then move up the chain.

Cleaned, well lubed, and ready to rock and roll...gets me all warm and fuzzy inside! ;3

About my Glocks, as I said, we strip em down and clean everything inside and out. Everything except in the firing pin area that is. I'm certain with Glocks you don't have to but to see my reasoning, read above again.

Thanks for the replies ;)

EMT, You sould like an obsessive compulsive disorder victim.

Yeah I clean my MK2 every time I shoot it, and I strip it, But its required since the gun becomes a complete mess after use with the can.

But uhh, I don't start with small parts or large parts, or whatever, I just f'king clean the gun and put it back together.

[emt1581]

;z HAHAHA good call!;z

However, to be OCD, you usually have to have some sort of interference with work/family/social life for it to be considered a disorder. Since my gf and I do it together, the cleaning is far from from an interference. If anything it gets us in the mood...at least she says it does. Maybe it's the smell of the cleaner that's so intoxicating?? ;)

About starting small and working up, I just do that to be systematic so I don't forget anything.

I'm glad you know what I'm talking about with the mess of the can. I start cleaning it and this black sludge runs out of it, but by the end (the way I know it's clean) is the WD40 looks all but crystal clear when it comes out.

I know when I called up Gemtech many moons ago before I bought my suppressor, Kel or whomever the owner/manager was told me that "since the suppressor gets a jet of subsonic air puffing through it after every round, it doesn't require much cleaning". He makes the best product on the market in my opinion but boy was that a bunch of BS!!!;Q ;f

Thanks

Why do you think that a MFG dosent know what he's talking about? You might have an opinion, but that dosent mean you arent wrong and dont know WTF yer talking about.

You only have ONE suppressor. How do you know they make the best product out there? Is it your opinion or from someone else? Also how do you know that the suppressor information given to you is BS.

uzi

22 kit for kids and general lont run fun [loading mags sucks so i got 12 28s and 4 20s]

9mm for normal shooting and lot of lady/men non nfa shooters shoot this first

45 for s***s and grins

10mm for serious plate killing [or 45 lol]

[emt1581]

R2 and Ken Lew you're both right.


JWP-

With the mags, there are a bunch of .22lr mag loaders out there for ya. I'm honestly unfirmiliar with the numbers you were referring to but like I said, a bunch of companies make them, maybe that'll help you out.

I love the 10mm too ;)

Thanks

For once I agree with EMT. GT is the best on the market as far as I'm concerned, and I have 3 of their cans :)

[John@JCDLESales]

Gawd your my man PLEASE Plan a visit the next shoot we have and I won't even charge you to clean the weapons, HONESTLY EMT!!!;)
But You Gotta Like Dogs cause they like the smell of Solvent.

(not trolling)

EMT, you & gf strip down to clean your guns?;f Couldn't resist....

Got my M11/9, going to possibly get the Lage M-11 slow fire upper(non NFA) and a Gemtech MK9K.

I like the little M11/9, runs great, less filling...I wipe it down when done, FP10 it and shine it up w/some Corrosion-X. Great stuff.

It takes the dryness out of the metal/plastic parts.

[emt1581]

Hey John, sounds good bud, if it was more local and I could manage the time between juggling and internship, EMS duty nights, grad school, and work...I'd be there ;)

No offense to the two on the left but that black lab is beautiful!:)

HBAR- Actually often times we're both so hot and sweaty after we get home from the range...but we keep our undies on...for the sake of the non-Glocks. The Glocks can handle anything though;)

"It takes the dryness out of the metal/plastic parts."

Are you still talking about your guns???;f

-Emt1581

[HBAR]

Talkin' about the Corrision-X for the firearms.....The C-X takes the dullness out of the parkerizing and handling marks..

It does not attract dirt and such after shooting and wipes clean, I don't use any scrubber at all. This is not a paid advertisement...

It is also a di-electric compound, great forkeeping electrics from turning green(ground).

[JWP]

emt the 28/20 are round count in uzi 22 mags, i load them all and can shoot like 350 rds before reloading

i modded a cambi pistol loader to load the mags

j black says about his 100+$ one that it won't completely fill the mags so seemed a waste
