Failing that........... diesel.

I seem to remember been given coarse sandpaper and diesel to clean gpmg's when i did the course

COARSE sandpaper ??? Someone needs a good f*****g kicking !!!

As has probably been said already, if the gas affected parts are soaked in oil on completion of firing, this will go a long way to ensuring that fouling will be easier to remove when cleaning the weapon...

We always use scourers on the weapon when cleaning, that tough green material one

abrasive material

now I've to ask CQ if he has any dock leaves in the cleaning kits.

NO abrasive materials should be used on any part of the weapon, if you use scouring pads on the piston head eventually you take a layer of it and interfere with its tolerances,

as soon as your finished firing wipe away away fouling using a piece of flanellet, then liberally coat the piece in issued oil, then when you get a chance to clean it, with a bot of elbow grease it should come off, a guy on the range showed me this once, get a handful of dock leaves crush them up in your hand put the piston into it and roll it around and keep crushing the dock leaf

viola

scouring pads are ideal for cleaning badly fouled pistons...

so are the cooling rings on the barrel...

Right, here's the plan for easy effective gun cleaning:

Go to a gunshop, buy a .22cal boresnake (perfect fit for 5.56). These are a one-pass system for barrel cleaning - needs to be seen to be believed. Cost around €25.

Get an old toothbrush. For cleaning other bits. Cost €0.

Get some oil. The stuff you're issued with is fine, though CLP is very good, as are several commercial alternatives - I like WD40 meself. Cost €0-15 (some guns come with a small bottle of oil - ask nicely in a gunshop for a freebie).

Get some fine steel wool. This is for getting rid of rust or very heavy carbon fouling, i.e. only needed if you haven't been cleaning properly up to now.

All done.
