[QUOTE="Moparman485, post: 3817264, member: 38840"] I “full clean” them once accuracy gets effected, or if I plan to put the firearm (pistol of rifle) away for long term storage. However, I regularly will oil the firearm to prevent rust, and will use solvent/oiled bore snakes periodically. Muzzle losers are different and get full cleaned wash time they are loaded/unloaded, regardless of it they were fired or they were just carried and then unloaded. However, asking someone their preferred cleaning process is like asking someone which oil they think is best. Ask 20 people, you may get 20 answers, and none are wrong. Best to pick one that you will stick to, fits your usage level, and that you know how to “properly” and “safely” clean the bore without eating up your crown or rifling with improper techniques. My father, a very well season firearm guy, cleans his firearms after every single range trip, jo matter if he shot one shot, or 500 shots. My cousin, another well knowledged gun guy, cleans his main “range guns” every few months. Some benchrest shooters do not clean theirs all year (from what I’ve seen them say, I’m no bench rest shooter). It’s all in the eye of the, uhh, “rifle-holder” [/QUOTE]
