Paper plates are great
Paper plates are great
After a range trip today, I broke down my carry 1911 for a basic field strip.
I like to use paper plates to hold the parts as I spray them down with CLP. All I use for a basic field strip and cleaning is pretty much what you see in the picture besides some paper towels and a micro fiber cloth to clean and wipe things down.
I might do a long post with pictures the next time I do a complete strip down of the whole gun including the frame. Might also do one on magazine maintenance.

And when you're done with the plates you can tack them up at the range and fill them full of holes!

I love the Wilson Combat oil. It stays on the rails and does not ever gum up. I have taken my carry gun apart after up to 6 or 8 weeks and there is still a coating of the Wilson Oil on the rails after daily carry of 12 to 16 hours of daily carry. I also have a bottle of the Wilson Combat grease and I use it for some applications.Rugerfanboy wrote:How you like that Wilson Combat Oil..?? I have two of there oils and a bottle of grease.

I have found that Hoppes #9, the Wilson Combat oil, CLP and a silicon rag can take care of what ever I need to clean and maintain. I also buy the micro fiber cloths. I keep my bore snakes clean, and love q-tips too.
