As far as Windex goes.. everything I have found on the web tells me that simply rinsing the barrel and gas system parts out with water is just as effective as any other method and that the ammonia (which is a base and is corrosive on it's own) in the windex can actually have detrimental effects.

Additional reading on cleaning after shooting corrosive ammo tells me that oil/solvent based cleaners do not remove or break down salts, only water based cleaners do and in addition there is no advantage to additional ingredients added to the water.

My method that is working so far (no sign anywhere of any corrosion happening) is field strip rifle, place chamber under bathtub faucet, turn on faucet and let it run for a minute or two moving it to also running the gasblock under the faucet. Once it is flushed out I then wipe everything down with CLP and run a boresnake through it. My biggest problem has been cleaning out the carbon build up in the flash hider and on the muzzle, so far I have been using the water and a scouring pad while I have it in the shower but I am going to try a couple different carbon removers that are out there. I am also pondering coating the end of the muzzle and inside the flash hider with anti-seize to see if the stuff will just wipe off in the future.

warm soapy water is your friend. Worrying about the muzzle and f/hider is an exercise in futility. Never sieze, under extreme heat has a tendency to crystalize. It's one of the reasons most is not all techs / mechanics / wrenches know not to use nz on the bottom portion of a spark plug before installing. IIRC its HD Tech Tip 18-337??

A little oil (your choice) on the threads helps with removal of buildup. However you do more to throw POI, taking on and off then you would to leave it alone. Just follow your process and all is good.
