Tips & Tricks
Share your tips & tricks you use in cleaning & maintaining your XCR or any of your other weapons. (1) after seeing sterling99 lost ejector bolt & Juicespeare1 loose ejector bolts, I went home & reloctited all my bolts. All were tight, the gas block bolt had no loctite on it, the barrel bolt & the brass deflector both had red loctite "high strength", all others had what appeared to be "low strength loctite". Cleaned bolts & bolt holes with Break-clean, dryed with compressed air. Put blue loctite on all bolts except for the 2 with red on them (put red back on). Retighten all bolts. (2) while I had the Break-clean out & gun broke down, I thought of Phalanx talking about the recoil buffer weakness. Cleaned buffer & behind buffer with the Break-clean, dryed with compressed air. Put a dab of Permatex Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive behind each ear of the buffer. Buffer sits solid now, hopefully with no movement, the buffer tit will stay in tack for a long time.
