My Daddy taught me by example to be lazy about cleaning, so I only clean my guns about once a year
But on the other hand, we don't shoot very much. Our guns probably get less than 200 rounds shot through them in a year... then sometimes, several years with zero rounds shot through them!
Hope it's OK. I have never seen my Dad clean a single gun in my whole life, but I have cleaned them for him a couple of times, because I felt sorry for them being so gunked up with carbon...
You think that's bad? Most gun owners I personally know don't clean their guns at all. A lot of them only own a couple guns for home defense and some just plain don't know how to strip them or clean them.
There you have it, the "dirty" truth, I bet a lot of casual shooters are just as bad as we are! I'm thinking this is probably more like the norm.
