| I've had my arsenal sgl-21 for a couple months now and have probably shot about 1300 rounds through it and I ALWAYS clean it thoroughly after every trip to the range. BUT I never take the bolt apart to clean around the firing pin/extractor. Should i be doing this? I ALWAYS soak it in soapy water and scrub the whole thing down then coat it in clp/WD40 once I'm done. So what do you guys think? Should i break it down? |

The firing pin is free floating, as long as the firing pin moves around freely you are good to go. The cleaning kit supplied with the rifle has a tool to tap out the firing pin retaining pin if you need to dis-assemble the bolt.
You can always use a pipe cleaner to clear out any carbon build up if you don't want to dis-assemble the bolt. |
| You will be fine if you don't clean it every time you shoot it unless you want to. I've probably put close to 3000 rds through mine and never cleaned it once, not one problem. To answer your question, cleaning the bolt w/o taking it apart will be just fine, these things are diesel |
