just bought m&p 10

[k954triniz]

so i just bought my first rifle. my friend cleaned it for me the first time. being im not familiar with this platform. i know it is basically a ar-15 on steroids. i been watching youtube vids on cleaning the ar-15 because i cant find any on cleaning the m&p 10.. looks simple ..
is there anyone who made a video on cleaning this rifle or have any tips on how to and what to use

it cleans exactly the same as an ar-15. I use balistol to clean and lube my guns. I recently added a grease to my lubrication as well on some parts that looked like they were wearing.

the big difference is the size... other than that the small spring on the back end of the firing pin is the only difference from an ar-15.

just get good .308 ammo for it, we have found that it doesn't like CBC and some other brands. take a look through the Ammunition thread for some other specific ones.

yep, i have had an issue with CBC. I am going to give Wolf a try in a couple weeks and see how that does for cheap ammo.

Same thing as oil but the M&P 10 seems to run thirsty and I find that I need to constantly oil it to prevent malfunctions. Grease lasts longer and I don't need to oil it as much.

what type and weight of grease should be used ... im an aircraft mechanic so i have the aeroshell brand ..
# 5 ,6, 7 are the most common and i have tubes of those

The grease will stay where you put it while the oil will just piss out any opening it can find while just sitting around.

This is the grease I use.

Ehh, all you need is a little drop of it and just rub it around to cover with a thin film.
