Just wondering how often you all clean your guns? Personally I don't really enjoy it, it's more of a neccessity thing. It gets a wipe down after every use and a quick bore snake but that's about it unless it gets wet in which case it's a full strip down.As mine is an auto it get's a major overhaul about every 5000 rounds, gas valve stripped etc and at 10000 the recoil spring changed. This used to be done every 5000 until I switched to J&P Customworks springs which are not only cheaper than OEM but the current one is still happy after 12000 rounds B) So in summary a full stripclean about 34 times a year, it's now had about 20000 rounds through it in 18 months and the only issues have been 2 failures to chamber the second round, both following recoil spring changes which should be bedded in with 36g or heavier. Who says auto's are unreliable . Jon.
