Cleaning Your Bolt Gun for its Long Winter’s Nap
BY Herschel SmithHe makes a good point about removal of the brass shavings under the extractor with a small tool. I had never thought of that before.

I always have, from day 1. I spent the first part of my intro to firearms as a boy, field stripping and cleaning guns PROPERLY. Then I was allowed to carry a 22 rifle, minus the ammo. THEN, I was taught how to shoot with live ammo. By then I knew enough to not get myself into trouble. The rest took years.
Winter Nap?? Why??
Train in the worst conditions always.
Heck, I have shot approaching hurricane winds, pouring rain, a blazing snow storm with my pvs30.
If it’s terrible, all the more reason to be out.
