[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 2946340, member: 40561"] (Puts on flame suit) I hate cleaning guns. Idunno if you guys dont shoot much, or always shoot the same gun...or I'm just trying to justify my actions...but I usually take 5 or so guns out every week (and those 5 vary depending on what we're shooting) and it would take FOREVER to CLEAN them all. I wipe 'em all down good and lube as needed but rarely do I strip them down and do a thorough cleaning. Some guns arent too bad to do like the 10/22, but doing so changes my POI when I take the stock off so I dont like doing that much. The 1919 gets DIRTY fast but still shoots as its designed to and the parts are big and it makes a mess cleaning it. Its not bad to take apart though Most get a good shot of EWL, rack it a bunch and wipe off whatever crap comes out. Carry guns are a whole different animal...I clean them more often but always go to the range and verify functionality before carrying it again. My bird guns are "pretty" (Auto 5, Superposed, BSS, 1887) so I always wipe them down after each day and clean them good when I get home but guns like my M1A, 590, Buckmark and Hipower get rode hard and put away wet and dirty :D [/QUOTE]
