This video just seems like they are trying to promote and sell a bunch of shit.

I do not take part in precision shooting. I hunt, clay, and target shoot. I always just clean by taking some break free and clean the damn guns. For my .22s and AR-15 I just use a barrel snake and be done with it.

Am I doing something wrong? My guns keep shooting accurately (for my needs) and reliably says otherwise. What do you guys all do? How much time do you spend?

You can knock the primer out of a spent 12ga and put that on the muzzle of your rifle and run the cleaning rod through that to protect the crown.

you do what i do pretty much..

just use clp and a patch/brush snake to clean it then wipe it all down and then put a thin coat of clp down the bore and on my bcg or whatever parts require a little bit of lube on my handgun/rifle and it's back into the bag until the next range trip.

i have a set of brushes and picks too that i use here and there but if you clean your gun often you usually don't need them.  i also have copper solvent but never really used it as i've never needed to.

people who put a ton of rounds through their gun in between cleanings may need a variety of solvents and more intense cleaning ritual to get all the shit outa there though.

I think the video was made for people who are completely new to firearms, who else would like up an instructional video on the subject?
Anyway, I use CLP and a brush for most of my weapons cleaning needs, although I do use a solvent to break up the carbon because I am lazy
