Since when did Kalashnikovs need "care?"

Since when did Kalashnikovs need "care?"

Exactly, every 300 rounds I just run a bore snake through the gun and wipe off the bolt and bolt carrier and chamber and reapply a generous amount of motor oil and maybe a bit of axle grease if its summertime.

I actually believe the AK field manuals stated 40 degrees and above motor oil and axle grease, 40 to -20 just motor oil, and below -20 motor oil and kerosene

Since before it was designed.

I thought the only care they needed was for a Russian soldier to urinate on it every 1,000 rounds?

You simply MUST stay out of gun stores.

Cheap grease from Walmart ?
Its an AK it's not fine art.
Anything will work V.O. Seems to be the best!

I sold one to a guy the other day. He asked when was the last time I'd cleaned it.

*awkward silence

Noooooooo!!!! Don't waste the vodka on the rifle. Unless, you're planning to drink the vodka until you forget about cleaning the rifle.

In the IDF--back when the standard issue rifle was the Galil--the provided cleaning solvent was kerosene laced with motor oil, but that was 35 years ago, things might have changed.

I agree, vodka would be wasted on an AK but I know someone who managed to leave a sunflower seed shell in his while cleaning it and it cycled just fine. An NCO found it for him during an inspection.

I'll bet an interesting "conversation" ensued.

Maybe the question should be "what no pita?"

It was kind of one-sided. Lots of volume on one side; lots of action on the other

I thought the average care provided an AK was to bury it in the ground and throw a piece of plastic sheet over it until it was needed...if those products were made to 'care' for an AK then they might not be suitable for any other weapon ever made.

Teacher, I can now hear the sound of one hand clapping.

Those look suspiciously similar to the lubes and lotions my Russian roommate had for him and his... companions.
