As I get older I do not have the grip strength to put the recoil spring back in after cleaning, even with the plastic sleeve to help. I don't want to stop shooting it. I have heard about soaking firearms in brake cleaning solution. Could I soak the upper assembly in brake cleaner and let it drain, perhaps blow it dry with compressed air? I don't really want to stop shooting it, it is an heirloom. There is not a gunsmith near where I live who would do it for a fee. I don't want to leave it at the range after each visit for a cleaning,
Any thoughts or suggestions?
