Some cleaning questions.

[balltrap]

Must try that. New or used?

New of course otherwise you will make a bloody mess of the job

 

[Holianl]

I thought using used ones means you wouldn't have to oil the barrels afterwards.

It not wise to use used even for a short period

My gun is a Miroku Mk-38 but generally i use beretta gun oil and barrel detergent . This is what i did

5. Remove ejectors and clean / remove any light rust that might be on them.

I have a Mk38 and understand there is a screw that holds the ejector in place but I can't see it so where abouts is it and is it an easy job to do?

 

[Will Hewland]

Slide the ejector along until the screw is accessible through a hole in the ejector. Screwdriver gets it out.

Ya its very easy. As will said . Remove ther barrels from the gun and slide the ejectors all the way forward and you should see a flat head screw in the hole . Just unscrew that and the ejector should slide out

I take it the screw is very small then?

Miroku / Browning ,

Yes the ejector slide retraining screw is very small , often very tight , and often the screw head snaps off or the screw gets lost if you do not take care and / or use the correct sized turn screw and turn anti-clockwise.

I'll not embarrass you by asking how it is you came to that information.

Tempted not to bother now.   I do spray with Legia and clean the underside with cotton buds.

Removed mine loads of times,never an issue just use a decent screwdriver/turn screw and even for my sausage fingers the screws ain't that small
