    Does this need to be cleaned ?

    A friend of mine sent this one to me and I got a kick out of it. Man that thing has been used !! Think a little CLP will take care of that ?

    Kind of reminds me of some of the training rifles at Ft. Benning back in the day

    Looks like somebody put a few rounds through that.

    I wouldn't, when you clean stuff it washes off all it's good luck.

    Isn't that what they are supposed to look like?
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    does the can still thread on and off? if yes, why clean it? If not, clean it up.

    I just cleaned the threads on mine on my 300BLK upper because the can was getting stuck from so much carbon buildup. Little dremel wire wheel cleaned it up nice.

    THAT is called "Patina". Never, ever remove it. It will devalue the weapon by hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Geez guys, haven't you all watched "Antique Roadshow"?
