Proper prep of a new kahr

[wyntrout]

Watch the video for take down and assembly on kahr.com... very informative and especially on the tricky bits like inserting the slide lock pin! Links in the first Sticky here.

That tool could double as a throwing star!

Yea I watched all vids on KAHR site and YouTube. Before i touched it.

Very good! I wish that everyone did that... less of the emergency HELP! requests. I keep going back there to find it for people just joining us. It's amazing the trouble that people get into because they didn't read the manual(me, too) or take advantage of all of the data and information available online. Most people are sitting in front of these amazing search engine/audio-visual contraptions called computers, with the whole world at their fingertips.

I use the dining table and have the whole thing covered with all kinds of stuff and lots of Bounty paper towels and magazine-fliers to keep the oil and stuff off the table. My wife really hates me using it as a shop table.

Oh. Can we see the Bauer?

Just regular stuff knife blade, flat head and Phillips screwdriver. The Allen wrenches not sonmuch unless you have a laser.

3M brake cleaner from Napa - part #08880 is not available in my state. Napa had 3M High Power Brake Cleaner, # 08180 for $5.xx. "It contains no Chlorinated Solvents. NOTE: Cleaner may instantly damage paint and some plastics." Anyone using 08180?

How about this stuff?

CRC 05101 QD Electronic Cleaner - 4.5 Wt Oz.
http://www.amazon.com/CRC-05101-QD-E.../dp/B000CCMLD0

I can't find anything that says it is chlorinated. It's made for electronic parts so very unlikely it would damage plastic. I've used it on many different plastic parts (including the lower portion of my S&W M&P 15/22 with no ill effect.

The can says it contains Methanol 67-56-1, n-Hexane 110-54-3, Isohexane 107-83-5, Petroleum Distillate 64742-48-9 and Carbon Dioxide 124-38-9.

Sounds scary. Squirt the stuff in there to flush things out, shake off the excess which also gets the last little bit of stuff that didn't flush out, and then ten seconds later it's clean and dry. It smells like alcohol, not like chlorine. I don't use it often, only when the powder residue and stuff is way back in unreachable spots.

P.S. Says on can "Harmless to most plastics and paper tapes."

thatis good stuff, but IMO way to expensive for gun cleaning. The cans are small in size as u stated and very expensive. I do use it on my computer sh-t and my Harley electronics etc. I haveno doubt it will do the job. It also loacks the air pressure behind it, which IMO most of these other cleaning sprays seem to have alot of, which is a real plus for getting crapola out of some tight areas..

Pure cholorinated sparys I think today are a thing of the past. EPA is clamping down on alot of these really harsh spra6ys sold over the counter. I see spray cleaner now marked VOL (i THINK THAT IS RIGHT) which tells me this is an EPA regulation that all compani8es will sooner than later have on thier cans, what the hell it means I dont know. (yet). I am sure some membershere have some insight into what this new labeling says and means..

I suppose that depends on how much/often you use it. I use mine very sparingly.

I kind of like how it sprays more fluid than air, because it rinses the stuff out rather than compressing it down into crevices.

I have been using it less and less since I learned to take it easy on the lube. I'm not getting the gunkus down in the areas I was using the spray to clean anymore, because I'm not putting lube down there to attract the residue. I don't think, for example, that the trigger pin really needs lubing.

I guess I better add Volatile Organic Compounds to the list of stuff trying to kill me. Never ends.

Darn near ready to just eat the cryptonite and rest.

thanks RUBB;

yup bawanna , another obama intrustion in our lives. probably made by solyndra to.

[Bawanna]

Well you know me and trees. My slogan is Earth First, We'll log the rest of the planets later.

Low VOC's will definitely help me sleep better at night, that of course along with the medicinal Scotch I prescribed for myself since we got red light and school zone cameras.

I sense a break down coming. I'll keep ya posted.

I tried suicide by cop today, lord knows I got enough of em around here but none would play. Even drew my everyday bone handled damascus knife and made threats. No go. One offered to taze me but I'd rather be shot. Hate electricity.

[jocko]

I heard that the VOC was a brain child of Obama's super committee for cost savings and greenenergy saving. They said in 10 years it would save over 35 bucks. cost our committee and the accountants 18.5 million to come up with this new VOC ruling. Yup gonna save the world. I can see my 3 evergreens in my back yard growing already due to less VOC coming out of spray cans..
