Gun cleaning ? - Page 2

I've also heard the argument by some 'experts', that people when they clean a gun do more damage to a good barrel and shouldn't clean a gun that much.... as they will do more damage than if they just left it alone. LOL.

The way I test to see if it will go bang after cleaning is to stick a wood pencil with a fresh eraser down the barrel (after ensuring that it is unloaded of course) and pulling the trigger. The firing pin will hit the eraser causing the pencil to jump.

Taught this trick by my firearms instructor at my police academy.

I clean my firearms after every use.
