This cannot be good…. Corrosion.

Cleaning your firearm after a range trip is like washing your junk after laying pipe, isn’t it?

I tend to clean after every trip as well, but to play devils advocate, maybe the counter metaphor is more like caring for a seasoned cast iron pan after it’s been used (no solvents/detergents, just get the big stuff off and re-coat with oil).

You need to install a Zinc, and a Galvanic Isolator !

well you could shoot some of that imported stuff with the zinc jackets....

Oiling the bore will keep oxygen from reacting with the copper and causing galvanic action with the steel. I'm also not so sure Greek surplus ammo isn't corrosive, that's why I recommended Ballistol as a one patch through the bore insurance policy in between range trips.

Greek HXP surplus .30-06 is not corrosive. As mac1911 once told me, for sure it has a flyer in every box but I actually prefer HXP brass over Lake City brass.

Not one mention of Verdigris in this whole thread. I'm disappointed in you all.
