Dude, if it takes you an hour to clean an AR, you are doing it wrong [:D] Get an Otis kit, and be done with it in 5 min.

No no, don't misunderstand. I COULD be done in 5 minutes.
But, I'm anal retentive. Always have been, always will be. I clean until the rifle looks just about new inside and out.
If TEOTWAWKI hits, I've got a bore snake in the stock, and a can of brake cleaner for 90 second cleaning to keep it running in between 1000 round cleanings... :) (along with a bottle of CLP in the stock to relube afterwards)
Excessively clean? probably. But then again, how else do I relish in the fact that I have the freedoms to go to the range on a saturday afternoon, shoot a couple hundred rounds, and bask in the aura and smell of spent powder and casings?
:)
It's more a ritual than a necessity... :p
I'm just saying to keep both rifles SPOTLESS, it takes considerably less effort to maintain the G36 type internals.
