Tip 1.

Just a note to all serving, if your rifle butt is muddy, DO NOT kiwi it.

For the sake of your poor Armt Specs, please gaffer tape your rifle butt or clean it.Kiwi screws hell with the Adrox anti-rust preservative oil and before you know it, your butt plate screw is not so easy to rust proof and your Armt Specs have to spend too much time de-oiling and re-oiling that they won't have time to fix the problems in your weapons that matter the most.

Very Happy

Tip 2.

Please do not drop your rifle on the ground unnecessarily, especially when you attempt to disassemble your rifle.Your PC and PS may like to slam the rifles on the ground, that is because they have not attended the Small Arms course.But if you can help it, DO NO slam.

Thanks.

i kiwi my sar21. in fact, i use a drill to clean the barrel and gas cylinder Laughing

wait till u take a look at all the rifles inside my camp's guardroom. can really vomit blood i tell u. every metal parts are rusty. it's so badly maintained, haven't oiled it for like many many months already. they come to back brand new, now they are so rusty it's an eyesore. Rolling Eyes

hope 1 day the higher ups find out about this and give the guardroom CSM and all those good-for-nothing sergeants a 1x good one. Twisted Evil

rusty weapons? chargeable offense leh, for those responsible. wat can rusty weapons do? are they good for use? if these weapons are meant for the guards to do their duties, then the duty is a mockery.

Gordonator SG

my thoughts exactly. simply terrible. Rolling Eyes

LazerLordz SG

They don't even have a CCO armourer. Rolling Eyes For such an huge camp too..

LL,

Just curious: what brand/type of lubricant is used by armorers in the SAF to maintain their rifles?

MG

LazerLordz SG

If I recall correctly, it's the Adrox 511.Shame on me for not recalling well, been thrown to the artillery repair branch for the majority of my NS term.. Laughing

at my time u clean your rifle or not u still do push up, so i always the a nap while others is digging the rifle. is only a few more push up why not take a nap.

LazerLordz SG

That was the case in my first BMT. Laughing

nismoS132 SG

i've only drawn my weapon once, and it was to clean off the carbon by the idea who drew it but didn't clean it.

gnoik SG

Ya lor, clean until no carbon liao in the end still got pumped as a platoon.

But my rifle no IA though! Laughing

Gordonator SG

not only strips, rooftops included. bunch of good-for-nothings. the whole guardhouse management is a mockery. Evil or Very Mad Rolling Eyes

actually CCO used to have an armourer, back when 6 div was around. when 6 div moved out 2 years ago. so does all the rifles. no point having an armourer when the only department in CCO NS using rifles is the guardroom. currently the rifles are loan from DETC.

LazerLordz SG

So the DETC armourer should be making weekly checks. Laughing Does he?

Gordonator SG

more like once a year. Laughing
