I just bought a planter on Amazon to soak this rifle.
I’ll start the process Thursday morning.
Thanks for the advice. I have quite a bit of 5.56 ammo.
Gotta ask - before you start in with buckets, oil and all that, have you tried
this yet - it's called by different names, like POGO-ing, POGO Manuever, Mortaring, etc - this has worked with everything I've had to do it on - ARs, AKs, M1As, Mini 14s, FALs - everything.
Do not do it on a hard surface - go outside, find some soft ground, hold onto the cocking lever when you thump the rifle straight down, following through with your hold on the lever, much like how it is demonstrated in the vid below. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't work on the first try. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 hits before it would give up the round.
