How do I clean my new aluminum alloy pistol?
I bought a new pistol today. It is a Smith and Wesson model 317 AirLite, .22LR. I own alot of handguns but this is my first one made from aluminum alloy. It’s really lightweight and I love it. The guy in the gunshop couldn’t find the original maunal that belonged with this gun (it was a display model in a case, not in it’s box) he told me to come back by this Monday or Tuesday and he would have it for me then. Anyway, I shot this gun a couple hundred times today and it it covered with gunpowder. It needs to be cleaned tonight before I put it away. Does anyone know how to safely clean this gun? Do I use the same products on it as I use to clean all my other guns, or do I need something special for the aluminum? I dont want to chance messing it up since it’s brand new. Please answer only if you know for sure. Thanks in advance.
The absolute best part about a .22lr firearm is that all you need is some RemOil and .22cal patches. Some would argue that you should use bore cleaner, but this is not really necessary unless you shoot the gun a whole lot than let it sit forever. If you use a phosphor-bronze .22 brush, be VERY CAREFUL. Go buy a brass boreguide if you do not trust yourself. Using a Boresnake is ok too. Lets recap:
1. RemOil will clean all externals
2. Using a short cleaning rod, patch clean Bbl (with or without brush)
3. Wipe of ALL excess (IMPORTANT!)
It is very easy to ruin the exterior integrity of a gun (it’s been done millions of times-even I am guilty) by obsessive cleaning. If you are ever in doubt about a method-DON’T DO IT! As long as your gun is kept free of condensation (the leading cause of corrosion-NOT FOULING) and is in a dry place , all is ok. I hope this helps you out.
