Pretty neat idea to use his shaving brush as a sand and grit remover for his M1 haha
a college friends father had to stand guard over a bunch of M1 buried in the sand on a beach. after a week they were dug up rinsed in the ocean water and test fired. they were functional
When I joined, the first thing we were told was to get over to the Canex(PX for USA) and get a few things, shaving brush included. Ours was to clean the FN though. I've still got mine...unused now.Quote:

My shaving brush was to clean my M14.
Thanks all who posted.
I wonder how many shaving brushes will be scooped up
From garage sales and flea markets after seeing this? :-)
Remember there's a proper brush for that? A bit hard to find around these parts.Quote:
