docholiday Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) I cleaned mine after about 1000 rounds but wish I hadnt bothered as it was only a little soiled, Think I will not bother in the furure unless I loose zero Doc I tend to take it off when putting it away but have never seen any problems on the few occasions I have left it on Edited November 26, 2009 by docholiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docholiday Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I use either wd 40 or brake cleaner, and a kitchen scouring pad. they are fun to try and put back together Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docholiday Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Strange you should have had a metal guide with it, I have lost mine and used a skewer. They are loose but still take a bit of messing with to get them out and even more to put them back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
