Posted: 1/3/2006 2:17:36 AM [Last Edit: 1/3/2006 2:17:36 AM by -brass-] THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT In the four wheeling world, there are hundreds of cheap mods you can perform on your vehicle for little or no money. I dont know how well this will work in the firearm community, but I will give it a try. Use WD-40 to clean cosmoline off a rifle. Its basically gasoline in a can and cheaper then using Hopes. A .223 / 5.56 shell can be used to adjust the front site on an AR, you use a file to cut some notches and it works perfectly. Instead of buying a $30 piece of plastic for a receiver block when working with the rifle in a vise, use a cheap 30 round USA made steel magazine. You can go to home depot or any craft store and purchase a do it yourself molding kit. Pour epoxy or some other material into the mag body to make it stronger.

I found a piece of wood, 1x3 IIRC, inserted into the magazine does the same thing at a lower cost (the wood was scrap).

Posted: 6/7/2005 12:01:00 PM [Last Edit: 6/13/2005 11:07:23 AM by cgv69] I prefer non-chlorinated Brake cleaner. for any cleaning tasks. I will quickly get rid of any oil, residue or crud and is self drying. Just make sure to quickly re-lube any item prone to rust. #7 O-ring around the front lug on an upper receiver will tighten up most poorly fitting upper\lower combos. It's cheaper and easier to use (and find) then an "Accu-wedge" (edit to add - See the pic on page 3 of this thread posted by Russ4777 - it shows exactly what I am talking about. Thank Russ!)

Bwahhhhh!!!! Actually, using a paper hand towel cardboard tube would probably make for a decent scope shade to help avoid mirage reflections through the scope.

You take a spent casing and dremel/file the claws into it, each cut perpendicular to the other. Easy and cheap site tool. You can also use a bic pen by doing the same thing. I do not remember exactly what casing to use, when I get home I will look. But I am pretty sure it was a .223/5.56 case.

I also use it to clean the magazine well on my 1911. This is potentially a great thread although it's probably a dupe. I already use some of the other tips mentioned. I hope that this topic can stay on track and continue to grow.
