Tips, Tricks, & How To's For Your Sport-Sport II-AR

[SWMP15Pks]

So, I don't have a pic, but I'm sure I'm going to have to fix that. I use black "100 mph" tape on my deflector. What else is there? OH I know. That piece of tacticool bailing wire I've got carelessly twisted around my lower rail just north of my magwell. Nothing says this guy knows what he's doing better than duct tape and bailing wire all over his/your AR. I can't tell you how many times I have to explain one or the other, but as soon as they are both in the conversation, the looks and smiles make life worth living.

For a quick wipe down of your guns and your hands after a firing session, try "Wet Ones".
Good for removing powder residue, especially on stainless guns which show you where they are dirty.

I always wash my hands before eating after a lengthy shooting/brass picking session. Saw something in a video to the effect that otherwise there is a slight risk of lead contamination.

I've been shooting for a loooong time without knowing that and I thimk I'm nermal, er, ah, nurmel, ah, er, fuggedaboudit .....

Great tip!
Q?; You suggest WET ONES. Can a wipe like BABY WIPES be used as well? I stock up on these every time I buy toilet paper.
I have a few SS firearms and will be trying this tip on them soon.

"Wet Ones" are just a brand name for baby wipes. I first started using them when shooting cap & ball guns in CAS.

I use Rem Oil Wipes before putting anything shot back in a case AR and Pistols .. keeps the material on the inside of the case much cleaner .. I was just using an oiled rag I kept in a zip lock bag but these are much handier .. found them on sale 1/2 off and bought 3 containers they're 60 of them that are 7X8 inches in size..

When shooting I wear a hat with a brim and/or a Shemagh Head Neck Scarf .. will keep hot rounds from burning your neck face if one hits you ..
Saw the after math of a man who got a burn around one of his eyes when a round landed between his glasses and skin .. and he couldn't shake it off quick enough .. I always wear some kind of head gear ..

I use Clorox Disinfectant Wipes on my hands to clean them and a squirt of hand sanitizer to finish them off after shooting .. you can also buy single packet of sanitizer wipes .. wife buys them 50 in a box ..

It's not just the deflector that needs protection. When the bolt is pulled back, the dust door flies open and strikes the lower receiver. The dust door bumper/press-pad needs it too. I put some of the left over rubberized Talon Grip material on the deflector and dust door pad.

While I'm the caretaker, I like to take care of my guns. The next owner can peel the stuff off and wreck it all he wants.
