a cheap hoppes rod, hoppes no. 9 and every now and again...a shot of foul-out.
i scrapre the gas port once a year. a 12 gauge nylon brush in the gas tube and a bronze brush to the piston head when i'm really feely like an ar owner. lubrication is more critical than cleaning. i use cheap 30 weight, non-detergent car oil ($1.39/quart at the gas station) and high temperature automotive wheel bearing grease. |

I must be considered odd here because I break the rifle down as far as possible every time I shoot. I use Hoppes # 9 or U.S. army bore cleaner. I use copper brushes only and then the usual patches. I clean as soon as I get home without exception.
I clean it inside and out. I use a light coat of airgun oil in the places with little wear, but miltech on the areas of high wear. After the miltech is worked in I only use it about every 10 times I shoot just sticking with CLP the rest of the time. In the winter I go back to my German roots and use Sunflower oil. It does not get cold enough on the surface of this panet to freeze Sunflower oil and it lubricate well in cold temperatures. |

Usually Clenzoil for clean/lube, depending on whatever else I have out for what I shot that day. Just patches for a case, then a brief spritz of Sweets in the bbl and a shotgun brush in the gas tube after 1000 rnds.
A friend loves his bore snake, but I hate the idea of cleaning your cleaning device. I use an Otis kit with plastic coated pull-thru cables for all my guns (after I lost my SAR2 rod). No real chance of crown damage with it. |

Well, since I own an AR I have an abundance of cleaning supplies.
Dewey rod, appropriate brush and jag(for the barrel), and depending on how heavy the job is, Hoppes, CLP, or if its really nasty in there Sweets 7.62. I blast the internals with a little brake cleaner, and lube with whatever oil or grease I have around. |

Every 3k rounds or so I spray it out with break free powder blast, let dry, and spray it down with CLP. A but of shooters choice grease on the bearing surfaces every now and then.

I use the "red-oil" recipe that Informer gave me. I clean my AK's after every shoot, a bad habit I picked up from shooting AR's..

I tried that once, but got tired of the birds pecking the h*ll out of me when I would go shooting. I use a bore snake, CLP, and a rag. Lube w/ CLP and teflon grease. |

AR guy here also. Clean after each range session. I use my Otis cable cleaner, some Butch's Bore Shine, switched from Breakfree CLP to FP-10CLP and some Tetra grease on the high wear parts. Super slippery combo, one happy AK! Ed
