I used to be really anal about cleaning my guns, all of them. Recently though i've been letting them stay dirty after shooting them.
Question is, if I don't clean the barrels would this cause problems down the line. I don't shoot corrosive ammo or anything Thanks Paul |

I just run a bore snake through them 2 times & inspect & lube a little. I`ve never had any problems. Been doing it this way for years. |

I used to be pretty anal about cleaning my firearms. I was one of those "the sun never sets on a dirty rifle" type of guys. Those days are gone, nowadays I have no problem letting the majority (but not all) of my firearms sit uncleaned for extended periods of time. |

I don't have time or safe space for guns that don't work when they are dirty. My competition shotgun gets cleaned once a year whether it needs it or not...that's about a 25K round interval. The Buckmark is about the only one that gets extra attention. It starts getting iffy after about 1000 rounds of bulk pack. I *hate* cleaning the ARs. They get hosed with brake cleaner and snaked once in a blue moon. |

I have a Ruger 10/22 from the 80's that's never been cleaned.
I couldn't remember how to take it apart so I got on line to see how as I thought I forgot how to clean the rifle ,but then realized I have never taken it apart. 
Still didn't clean it I just sprayed some more lube and it's good.

Not cleaning them may result in: hemorrhoids, fainting, 4 hour erections, blurred vision and worst of all, nightmares of your DI screaming at you for having a dirty weapon.
Besides, if you don’t clean them regularly, how are you going to be familiar enough with them to; safe, field strip, reassemble, and function check them in 3 min. blindfolded? |
