A few weekends I got up a tree and got a load of poison oak on my left hand and, I must assume, on anything I touched with said hand, including my 7.62 PredatAR.
My question is this: what would the recommendation be for ridding this thing of any residual oils that I must've spread around the handguard and controls? Have any of you dealt with this problem before?
I've read several places that isopropyl alcohol will break down the organic compounds that cause the contact dermatitis most people get after contacting poison oak/ivy/sumac. Would taking a few cotton balls or a spritzer bottle of the stuff and applying some to the exterior of the rifle, and then immediately re-oiling the exterior cause any problems?
