Brushing the Main Spring Housing of a Ruger Mark 2 Gun

Video Transcript

"Alright here?s our main spring housing. Not a lot to do here this is our bolt pin stop this is actually keeps your bolt from sliding outside the firearm here. I am going to kind of look around here I am not feeling a lot of grit. This is one of the unique areas in the firearm that doesn't get necessarily quit as dirty. Except for this bolt pin stuff and here is when I use my toothbrush I don't necessarily use my wire brush at all and get everything scrubbed up pretty good here. Back here on the back side of the lever where mostly the dirt and grime is going to get in here is dust and partials that you?re going to come into contact outside in the outdoors if you?re out somewhere. So were going to get in there and were going to help some of those things get out of there. Clean around the lever you know because in the end this is what keeps your firearm together you know it is just as important as cleaning the bolt base or anything else. Alright looks like we got this scrubbed up here and were just going to let this sit. Next were going to clean the inside of the barrel."
