Hi gang.

               I've had my Parker Hale mod on my CZ for 15 yrs and never cleaned it.  I should imagine its caked with crud inside but the rifle shoots spot on.

              Been watching on you tube a chap saying they should be cleaned or they can become less effective.

               If i do decide to take it apart what what liquid cleaner should i use.

                                                                                                                 Thanks all.

If I remember correct a Parker Hale mod come with a rod. You unscrew the end and insert the rod, turn it upside down and the baffles fall out. Failing that you could use a wire coat hanger. Submerge then in a little petrol and leave them to soak. Dry them off, scrape off any crud and rinse with WD40, dry them and put back together. Put in a warm place for 24 hours to allow evaporation and then you should be good to go. Grease any threads on the mod and on the rifle.   
 

Got this from the back of my mind from 20 years ago.
 

Alternatively take it to a gun shop and swap it for a SAK.

And now you seen a clip on Youtube you want to clean it. 

 

Why  

 

Polish you shoes or something if you feel the need to clean. 

^^^^ this. Why would you make work for yourself?

Hi

Moderators are probably better off with some 'crud' as helps sound attenuation.............more 'tinny' when cleaned until a 'layer' has built up.

The balance for anyone is, if needed to be dismantled, could it be done or grief ensues?

It goes without saying that the threads on the barrel need keeping clean and lubricated (lubricant of your choice) to ensure can be taken off the rifle when needed to!
