Your favorite gun based on ease of cleaning?

Benelli shotgun. Snake the bore and I'm done usually. No gas system to get filthy.

I can't figure out what's so hard about cleaning any gun. They're made to be taken apart to be cleaned. The hardest one I ever cleaned was a Smith and Wesson Super 1000 Skeet I used to own. It was made by Howa in Japan where they cannot own the guns they make. Mossberg sold it for a while too. The piston had a pin in it that was slightly tapered. If you didn't put the tapered pin back in correctly it wouldn't load the next shell after the first shot.

My bolt guns, drag snake thru bore, lite coat of oil, and then grease bolt lugs.

Takes longer to get the box of cleaning stuff out

At my old job I noticed that one of the sales guys had washed his Jaguar.
When I mentioned it, he said, "Yeah, I wash it once a year whether it needs it or not."

Sort of how I feel about cleaning guns. LOL

Do you own an AR? Have you tried to clean it?

Hard? Not much. But tedious. And sometimes just frustrating. Like taking apart a Ruger mark iii and putting it back together. Especially if you don't modify the magazine disconnect. You have to put the magazine in and remove it a few times, point the gun toward the north star, and say a prayer to Ruger that the tail on the hammer falls into place. Hard? Not really. But definitely not my favorite gun to clean.

Do you own an AR? Have you tried to clean it?

Yes, I bought my first AR in about 1987. It was an A2 HBAR. I may or may not own another or so now. For me my guns aren't too heavy and aren't hard to clean. I have a gun bench with cleaning supplies. The powder solvent gets a little strong sometimes but I keep my work area ventilated.

Cleaning a Sturmey Archer AW 3 speed hub is much more difficult

My AK, because I've never bothered and it runs fine.

I find the beretta 92fs to be the easiest gun to disassemble and reassemble during cleaning

Anything with a break action.
