Snap cap paint

[Newb37752]

Got my new ar 10 today and decided to check the trigger pull. Like most things I over thought it and decided to use some snap caps. The ones I have must be POS because now the paint has peeled off them and there is some on the extractor etc.. What's the best way to clean it out or should I just do a normal cleaning and go shoot the damn thing?

I wouldn’t worry about cleaning is specifically because of the snap cap. But, if the gun needs cleaning, clean it. Go shoot it.

Paint or anadizong? Were they aluminum? If anadizing then clean, if paint, not a problem.

Doesn't say on Carlsons website what coating is on them. They are aluminum. May be safe just to give it a clean. Only cycled the BCG like 8 times. I won't be using these again.

probably anodizing, I always worry if Anodizing comes off, is there aluminum attaches, plus it is mineral.

They are. Your observation is impeccable! Get off the wallet and desist using those Carlson's wanne-be's in your gun art.

Just the first draw of A-Zoom's in my inventory; never experienced any such flaking with their anodized coatings in thousands of use.

Took a little bit but got that shit cleaned out. Got all I could see so I think I'm good.
