What gun do you guys hate cleaning?
I just got done cleaning my AR's from OFAST. That damn wolf ammo, I'm done with that shit. I shot 700rds of it through one of the ARs and it was very dirty. I also shot 500 rds of brown bear, it wasn't that bad. I'm beginning to be a big fan of the BB. |

I've shot prob 3k in all variations of wolf ammo.
Since the ammo price drop I been shooting my Federal XM193 and it is the most dirtiest nastiest ammo I have ever shot out of anything in my life. I cannot believe this much gunk come out of anything. def shooting the rest of it off |

I used to be a clean it every time I fire it kind of guy, but I'm backing away from that approach now. I find the 22/45 and, to a lesser extent, the 10/22 to be inconvenient to disassemble. I can tear down all my other guns effortlessly without tools. As far as the actual cleaning goes, the title of worst part of a gun to clean probably goes to the star chamber on ARs.

Quoted: Brake cleaning from Wally World at less than $3 a can works wonders. I hose down pretty much everything I own with it and makes cleaning easy..  If you're going to use brake cleaner, make sure it is the non-chlorinated variety and keep it away from wood and polymer parts. |

I use Super Tech which is non-chlorinated. It works great on my XD, Tech-9, Uzi, AR-15, and others with polymer parts and have no problems.

I clean my guns within a couple weeks of shooting them, and I tear them down and clean them meticulously. If a white patch comes back with black on it, it's not done.
My 22/45 isn't such a big deal with the clark bushing. I'd say I probably like cleaning the 12 ga's least of all. More so than the AR for sure, but I have a piston gun. |

All was Federal. The "tactical" duty stuff wasn't too bad, but the "American Eagle" was the dirtiest ammo I've ever seen! There were only about 20 rounds left in the box, but it just that 20 rounds were enough to choke my Hi-Power. I did get a stronger trigger return spring for it, apparently if you remove the mag safety, you need one. |

I enjoy cleaning and lubing my Larue rifles, 300BLK, Glock pistols, and even enjoyed tearing down my new Springfield 1911 today. I do NOT enjoy tearing down and cleaning any of my .22 guns....and especially my Element .22 silencer.
Gonna have to take it to Eric's to bead blast the lead out completely again. |
