How often do you clean your firearm? I clean mine everytime I go to the range and shoot. Also, if it has been a few weeks I'll put some EEsox on the slide and surface.

I run the boresnake (dry) through it every time I shoot. I strip, blow out with compressed air, wipe with a cloth and wipe wear points with oiled cloth about once a month.

I clean mine after shooting. If they sit for too long without shooting, I'll rub them down - probably not as often as I should. They all still look & function like near new so it's working..

I've been meaning to ask a couple of questions:

1) Break-Free cleaner/lube - I've heard both sides regarding this product, both from supposed professionals. What's your opinion?

2) When I was in boot camp, I found that taking a shower with my M-16 was the fastest and most thorough way of cleaning out the sand and dirt. After drying the parts they were much easier to clean, then with a nice lube job the gun looked and performed like new. I was usually the 1st finished and had the cleanest weapon. Others soon followed. Obviously, the parts need to be dried but aside from that, is there any harm?

I also passed many inspections with the help of black glossy spray paint but that's a different story..

I usually clean my carry gun every week unless I go to the range, then its as soon as I get home. As for the rest of my guns, as often as I can or every time I shoot them. I've also been told several times that Im obsessed but theres not a guns anonymous meeting anywhere so I think Ill be fine
