  • Eh, relax. You used non-corrosive ammo, there's no rush. Do it later.

    Default Should I clean my guns?

    I have 4 pistols and 2 rifles that I have been neglecting to clean for two days. I've put about 15 rounds through each rifle and roughly 200 rounds through each pistol this weekend. I'm really tired and lazy right now and don't feel like cleaning them this evening, but dammit I hate to leave my guns sitting around dirty.

    On a lazy scale of 1 to 10, I'm about an 8.5 right now.

    What would you do?

    I just cleaned my AR for the first time since early 2006, after about 1500-2000rds of various ammo... I can't, in good conscience say to get up and do it now. I've got a couple 10/22s that probably need a bath too, but hell, I'll do it later.

    300 more rounds won't hurt... lol

    the only two i dilagently clean are my black powder blaster and my carry gun.
    ak's never get it, everything else gets when, if i feel like it, unless corrisive ammo is involved.
    it's only metal, we can out think it....

    Sorry...I'm a cleaning Nazi. It took everything I had not to clean the gas system in my Saiga-12 for as long as I did trying to see if it would jam (After 3 years I had to clean it, never jammed I just couldn't take it anymore)

    I'm like scoutjoe, I clean the guns I shoot the same day I get back from the range. Typically I will wet a patch and send it down the barrel to soak while I put away my range stuff. Then, depending on the time of day (and what the wife wants me to do LOL) I may let them sit until the evening to finish the cleaning.

    Good point about the carry weapon. If nothing else I suppose I should probably clean my Glock 26.

    I'm a stickler for a clean gun. Mine get cleaned after every range trip, or once a year if they haven't been fired for a while.

    Default Re: Should I clean my guns?

    I always clean my guns after I shoot them. If I don't clean them immediately when I get back from the range, I'll make a point to clean them within a week.
