I will take your dirty lower and give you another never used clean lower so you don't have to worry about it.

Send it to me for a good cleaning and complete function check.

It's too dirty to salvage. Take a band saw to it and trash it. Lowers are pretty cheap right now.

How do you like your trigger? I'd love one... but that's a hefty price tag.

They get really dirty with a suppressor I should take a pic of mine.

Lol at hefty price tag.

But to answer the question the SSF trigger is great.

I wish I could afford freedom. You know, the freedom they handed me while wasting worthless fucks in a shithole turd world.

Fucking cave dwelling goat fuckers with more full auto greatness buried beneath floors then I'll ever have.

You own an RR, but a trigger is expensive?

I'm in the 500rnd area on mine. It hasn't hickuped once. I am on a long term test to see how far I can go without cleaning. We will see..

The only time I ever cleaned my lower was when a popped primer jammed things up. And my sear is dirtier than yours.

Posted: 2/3/2016 5:49:18 PM EDT

[#35]

Took me a second. You glorious bastard.

And to answer your question about the lower...when I build it, generally speaking.

It doesn't really get dirty enough for me to care. I drop a little lube in there once in a while when it looks dry. After a few years, I might hose one out with brake cleaner and re-lube it.

Nice.

1K rounds if it is your go to. I clean mine after every use.

My 22LR AR is a disaster.

I used to clean my guns after every shooting session. Not any more, I just shoot em now. Clean once a year or so, unless I get sand in one or something.

Posted: 2/3/2016 6:25:42 PM EDT

I clean my firearms every time I'm done shooting them.

I enjoy doing it and don't see any reason not to.

I used to clean each and every firearm after any range trip... even if I'd only fired ONE round through it. Now I only ever clean something when it looks dirty. And since I don't shoot all that often anymore... I clean even less often.
