Clean guns

[CountGlockula]

I clean after every range trip. Ususally use up to 200+ rounds.

My motto: If you don't take care of it, it won't take care of you.

I have all semi autos. In the past, when I've cleaned one, I've put a light coat of grease on the slide rails. When I use oil of any kind, the action feels kind of rough.

What do you guize use on the rails of your autos?

Brownell's Action Lube Plus. Not only for the slide but I also put a little on the 1911A1's barrel bushing.

Tetra Gun Grease on the rails of semi-auto handguns; and all of
mine are as slick as a newborn babys butt~!

I clean and oil my firearms after every use. If I’m dragging them through wet brush, I'll disassemble, dry and re-lube even if I haven’t fired. If I only put a round or two, I "may" just run a bore snake down em', but 98% of the time I do a thorough cleaning. Maybe it’s the fumes, but a cleaning and taking apart guns is almost a form of Zen meditation for me.

That said, when I see a friend or anyone for that matter takes poor care of his or her firearm, I get truly shocked and horrified. A friend of mine didn’t clean his battle rifle after a box of corrosive .308's. Months later, I find out the barrel's completely rusted over. It’s not my gun, but I couldn’t talk to him for weeks afterwards. I still get choked up every time I think about it.

I clean mine every once in a while. They're just hunks of metal. They don't mind a bit.

I always clean my guns after every range session (150 to 200 rounds). I don't feel confident carrying a dirty gun, and cleaning also gives me an opportunity to inspect them.
