I clean it nearly every time I clean the rifle. Usually just spray some cleaner in there, blow it out with compressed air, and then relube it.
The spring should be cleaned and put back in dry. |

My lower remains mostly clean. Most of the times hammer has some dirt on it.
I clean it evey time I clean the gun, but it might be more for lubbing than for cleaning. |

never. maybe wipe the hammer off a little. i just drop a little oil on the springs once in a while, and add a little grease to sear. But i dont go scrubbing in there.

Unless it gets muddy, or goes for a swim, never.

Shooting my 300BLK SBR suppressed makes a mess in the lower. I blow it out with compressed air and make sure there is lube on any metal-to-metal contact surfaces.
Normal applications shouldn't need much other than making sure it's lightly lubed where it needs to be. |

Leaves a light coat of rust prevent and lube. Wipe the outside with some rags. |

every time I take the rifle apart I swab the lower out with a Q-tip and oil the areas that need it. I only take the recoil spring out if the gun gets wet.

I wipe it out with a cloth soaked in CLP every time I clean my gun.
When things start to look gritty, I remove the FCG and thoroughly clean it, and wipe out the accessible parts of the lower. |

I've got about 1K rounds through my 80%er so far. The hammer gets some crud on it. I sprayed it out with brake cleaner just because and re-lubed about six months ago. I took it all apart last night to install my new MBT and there was literally nothing in there to clean.

I wipe off and oil the face of the hammer but that's about it.
IMO unless you're shooting suppressed it's not really needed. |
