[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2521542, member: 9374"] Mine hadn't been cleaned in many many moons and had been shot several times at the range and also carried all over for months. In the door of the truck, under the seat of the car, in the console, in and out of the house, IWB, OWB, OC, etc. For months. There were good reasons it was not running well, lol. It's clean now and smooth as butter, too. :D The wife's S&W 9604 hasn't run well at the range the last two times, but when I took it apart last night, it was obvious it hadn't been cleaned probably in years. I know I hadn't stripped it down since I bought it, which was like... 3-4 years ago? lol. It had only been fired a couple of times. Confession... I've NEVER cleaned the barrels of ANY of my AR-15s! :ooh2: I know, I know... I take 'em down and wipe the bolts and chamber, and lube 'em up... but I don't have a setup for mine to clean the barrels. I need to get one. I bought a full cleaning kit from AIM Sports at a gunshow one day, but it's a POS and the ".22" mop and brush don't fit down a .22 or .223 chamber. At least not without a MASSIVE amount of force, and I'm not going to risk getting something stuck in there. So I've just held off for now until I buy a real, solid, reputable .22/.223 cleaning kit with quality components and that actually WORKS. Which reminds me... maybe I need to go order that? lol.
