Remington 11-87 Gun Cleaning Process Analysis The gun cleaning process can seem long and tedious, but it can be broken down into a few simple steps. Gun cleaning is essential for the gun to continue to work properly and efficiently. I will be discussing why you should clean your gun, when you should clean your gun, and finally how to disassemble, clean, and reassemble a Remington 11-87 semi-automatic 12 gauge shotgun. Every time a shotgun is fired, carbon, lead, copper, and plastic residues are left in the barrel, chamber, and action (Wiley). Consequently, each time your gun is fired more of this residue develops. This is caused from the powder, wads, and bullets passing through the gun. Furthermore, sweat and moisture in the air can cause …show more content…
The first step in this process is gathering all of the items that you will need. To start, you will need a bottle of solvent, a bottle of gun oil, a greasy rag, a nylon brush, cleaning pads, toothpicks, a hammer, a barrel cleaning rod with an attachable wire brush and mop tip, and a surface that is able to get dirty. Next, you will need to make certain that your gun is safe. Always make sure, by visual and physical inspection, that there are no rounds in the chamber or magazine, and that the safety is on. By doing this, you ensure that the gun will not accidentally discharge a round you may have forgotten, or did not know was loaded. To do this with a Remington 11-87, simply pull back with the firing pin handle until it locks in place, and push the safety button so that the side with the red band is …show more content…
To do this, soak a cleaning pad in solvent, squeeze it so that it is not dripping, and propel it through the barrel using your cleaning rod. After it has soaked, advance the rod with the metal brush attached forward and backward within the length of the barrel to loosen any accumulation of grime. Then, using either a mop-tip or a dry cleaning pad, wipe out the loosened crud. The last step should be repeated until the pads appear clean with no signs of residue when pulled through the barrel. Next, clean the three rings that were removed at the beginning of the disassemble process. Using a cleaning pad and solvent, wipe them down until there is no black gunk remaining on them. Begin wiping down and cleaning the trigger assembly with gun oil. After the trigger assembly is cleaned, clean the action assembly, bolt, and inside of the receiver. To clean the bolt, apply a small amount of cleaner to a pad and begin wiping down the surfaces of the bolt. Use a toothpick to get into the spots that are difficult to reach with your hands. Then, apply cleaner to the action assembly and focus on cleaning the parts connected to the bolt. The inside of the receiver is difficult to clean, so you use a brush and cleaner that can easily remove any excess dust or grime from the inner
Guns, Germs, and Steel was published by Jared Diamond in 1977. Diamond is a UCLA professor and a scientist and his book has received remarkable response all around the world, in fact the book has won Pulitizer Prizer and was New York’s bestseller. Despite, of being highly regarded, the book is known as one of the most controversial book of its time. A lot critics has accused this book but the critic which stood out the most was William H. McNeill. McNeill is a historian and I agree with his criticism regarding the book and its conclusion.
The way in which the gas is let out is that there is a needle in a valve in the top of the tank and when the tank is screwed into the paintball marker the needle gets pressed down and the entire system becomes pressurized and is ready to be fired. Then when the gun is cocked and the trigger is pulled the bolt is pushed forward, accelerated by the force of the C02 acting behind it and pushes the paintball out. Then the bolt comes back into the read position and the C02 is no longer flowing and is again pushing against the bolt.
a. TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Without the aid of reference, demonstrate the four steps in clearing a misfire and describe some ways a misfire may occur in accordance with MCI 21.35 of the MARINE CORPS INSTITUTE, (INSPECTION AND REPAIR OF THE M9 SERVICE PISTOL). (CPLX1)
The rifle and the coveted shotgun, literally brought home the bacon. With sleek models such as the Winchester .44 in 1873, accurate targeting sights increased a hunter’s ability to take down his prey, even from large distances, often exceeding 200 yards. The other weapon of choice, the shotgun, did not boast a straight, clean shot, but had the capacity to tear anything to shreds in a single blast. A short barrel provided the advantage of a wider blast range and easier handling (Trachtman et al 50). In many battles, the shotguns were often preferred for their simplifying features.
Early gunsmiths used techniques much like blacksmiths and watchmakers. Hand forging barrels,hammers and other parts one at a time as they needed them and hand carving stocks. Some of these were works of art and took months or years to produce. As technology advanced and new machines were introduced it allowed gunsmiths to greatly improve their output. When it was first developed it could take weeks of work for a decent gunsmith to rifle a barrel, but with the invention of the electric lathe it became much easier. Now in modern times with CNC or Computer Controlled Numerical milling machines make receivers for rifles such as the AR-15 and handguns like the M1911 produce thousands in a single day. Many gunsmiths specialize in building AR-15s and accurizing various handguns for competition shooting. Building an AR-15 is quite simple, it could be compared to a lincoln logs set or a kit bike. After acquiring the various parts assembly should only take a few hours. Building and accurizing handguns is an art. To achieve maximum accuracy the rails between the frame and slide must be polished, the point where the hammer and trigger meet filed so it is smooth and without grit or creep. A well worked trigger is compared to a glass rod braking. Solid weight as soon as pressure is applied without any dead
Remington outdoor company is an American manufacturer of firearms, ammunition, and related products for the hunting, shooting sports, law enforcement, and military markets. It was founded by Eliphalet Remington in Ilion, New York with the first hand-built rifle in 1816. The headquartered is in Madison, N.C. Remington is the oldest and most well known American gun producer. It is the largest maker of shotguns and rifles (Remington Outdoor Company). Moreover, Remington has developed more cartridges than any other gun maker or ammunition manufacturer in the world. They have nearly 3,000 employees which represents one of the largest domestic manufacturing. Which enables them to deliver their products through the United States and internationally to around 50 countries. Remington has some of the most globally known brands which are, Bushmaster Firearms, Timbersmith, Marlin, Advanced Armament Corp., Tapco, The Parker Gun, H&R, Dakota Arms, Stormlake, Nesika, DPMS/Panther Arms and Barnes Bullets (About Us, 2017, September 01).
The employees on this line are already familiar with the assembly process for this design of firearm. There is minimal risk of mixing up parts due to Smith & Wesson’s new assembly line process. As the frame comes down the line, “a scan tells the employee what SKU it is, which automatically illuminates lights under each part they’re supposed to pick.” (Hessman 2012). This process will allow the firearm to be produced with very minimal additional training. It will also provide minimal disruption to current assembly
The first guns used in America were a simple machine where the person did most of the work. The user measured and put the powder down the barrel of the gun. Next some shotgun pellets were put in the same way. This was then all compacted and the gun was ready to fire. This reloading took over a minute before each shot could be fired and the guns weren't very accurate by today's standards. If too much powder was used then the gun could explode or if the powder were wet then the gun wouldn't fire. One of inventions during the Revolutionary War was a way to reload faster. The powder was already pre-measured and kept in little sacks. This made reloading faster because the user no longer had to measure the powder between each reloading. These guns were crude but in that day was a powerful modern invention that was considered very useful. The American Revolution was a political war to obtain what the people of that era wanted. By today's standards the destruction of gun was minimal so war was used to obtain political objectives.
12 Gauge v.s. 20 Gauge- 12 gauge shotguns have less bullets than the 20 gauge however the bullets are larger unlike the 20 gauge which has 20 bullets that are smaller than the other bullets.
Due to the recent disruption of violent crimes on campus, many citizens that are pro-gun activist have suggested that both the students and teachers should be allowed to carry concealed weapons on school campuses. Those who are with guns allowed on school campuses claim that their rights have been violated for the reason that many college campuses refuse to allow weapons of any kind on their property. The Constitution of The United States of America already grants citizens the right to carry guns with them. It is not appropriate for guns to be in a vulnerable area such as a college campus or any University. There are already too many guns available to the public or easy to get any kind of gun, and allowing them on
The feeling that a person gets when they hear the metallic “ping” on a target from over 200 yards away is irreplaceable. The laws set in place restricted people from owning sporting firearms that make some target shooting impossible or extremely difficult. Gun are also a large part of human history. Owning a gun gives insight into the time that it was made. Owning a modern firearm serves a testament to how far the weapons have advanced since the days of single shot muskets. Another value of gun ownership is the value of the gun. A typical gun is made so that with proper care it will be in full working order decades after its creation. Therefore, guns typically hold their monetary value or in less common cases they increase in value, making a firearm an investment that may payback in the
Your everyday cleaning of weapons isn’t as bad as it looks. Mainly, it is just taking apart to operator’s level and looking for the powder fouling. I own an AR 15 and an XDM 40. One thing that I am not completely sure on is, should you clean it after every time you shoot your weapon, after a certain number of projectiles has been fired through your weapon and how long should you let the weapon sit after you fire the weapon?
There is nothing better then realizing that each indigenous people evolved into something better or that they found ways to survive in situations they weren’t use too. There were many changes that happened over time that cause for situations to change for everyone around them. But it also has helped with being able to progress with the way they lived. Jared diamond the author of Guns, Germs and Steel interpret his famous theory oh how we came to be. How the geography luck helped each country developed more rapidly than others as well as being able to expand more. However they also had geography luck when it came to how many advantages they had with the technology nevertheless, germs also was a big part of how the conquered most of the lands because it would kill instantly millions of european and
Guns have a long history in the United States. Guns are used for self-defense but they are also used for hunting. Since guns are a part of the American culture, it is almost impossible to get rid of all the guns in the country. However, by training people how to use the guns properly, give people the right mental care, and limit the people who can have guns could stop school shootings in America.
Much like in Toms case, most investigations start with a crime having been committed. Forensic ballistics and firearm investigation start when there are bullets, cartridges, a weapon, or any combination of the above found at a crime scene. With the evidence, a crime lab can search for clues on these items that could lead to a suspect or possibly prove that the items were used in the crime. By comparing the markings on bullets or cartridges found at the scene with those fired from a suspect’s weapon, a ballistics expert can often determine if the rounds came from the same weapon. Just the act of cycling a cartridge through a weapon without firing it can leave permanent scratches in the case that are unique to the weapon.
