I'm looking for some advice on how to clean TAC A1 with fixed stock.
If anyone has this rifle can you share how you clean it?
This is the most frustrating rifle I've had to clean as I can raise the cheek piece it's highest setting but still the rod handle hits the recoil pad. This is not good as I'm worried I'm damaging the bore or rod by (slightly) bending to get over the pad.
Options I've considered;
1. Bore snake (but I don't like these as over time you pull carbon back through the rifle)
2. Clean through muzzle (but l don't want stuff to go into action)
3. Longer rod maybe?
Any tips / advice would be great.
Thanks!
What's involved in removing the butt stock?
From what I can see it looks like an M4 buffer tube attachment to the receiver?
Can you just unscrew the buffer tube?
I only clean the bore when accuracy drops off so it wouldn't be a big deal for me. But for somebody that spends more time cleaning than shooting it'd be a pain.
What attaches the adjustable butt to the buffer tube? Can that be removed with ease?
Maybe you could make up an extension that threads into the rod to make it a little longer?
