Any of you that have been in the U.S. military, or most other military's as well, know how gun cleaning after a day at the range or in the field goes. They are all completely disassembled, and all the bolts go in one pile, all of the trigger groups in another pile, the stocks in another pile, and the barreled receivers in another pile. One guy or two guys clean each of the piles,... and then when everything is clean, they are reassembled

Actually I spent 35 years in the infantry and I NEVER saw that happen, not from recruit training to mature troops in the battalions. Everyone was responsible for their OWN weapon. Even machine guns were done by their crews, although stripped into a wash basin perhaps, they would be done by the men responsible for them. I didn't serve in a closet either. Lots of different armies and countries and places...so that part of the story is bunk.

The rest, well, we weren't as in the dark as you think. That's why this thread died 7 LONG years ago...we usually leave them that way and start a fresh one...
