When they slow down I spritz them with Marvel's mystery oil and I'm GTG.
I'll say it again..........let it go far enough to malfunction then it's on you!
There seems to be two camps with the AR's in terms of cleaning, the ones who maintain their weapons the way they were trained to in the service and those that think the AR needs to be spotless and cleaned after every outing for it to run reliably.....
And those that hardly ever clean them and know how to properly lubricate to keep it running properly. I think regular cleaning of the AR after every outing is unnecessary tbh. I don't enjoy cleaning the AR for some reason, I'm glad I don't have to very often.
I clean my ar's when I pull the ch and the bolts stay back their ownHow long do you typically wait before you clean your AR? Mine get pretty filthy after a case of cheap bulk ammo but with a lil lubricant in the right places, no cleaning is necessary. I don't really notice any fouling that bothers me until about 2K-3K rounds but even then just a lil CLP and a wipe down is all good. Just wondering if your AR actually chokes or you just clean it when it looks filthy.
The first sign of the problem should have been the “Kel-Tec” lettering on the side….Cleaning serves a second purpose also. I clean my guns after each range session to check for wear points and look for any problem areas like I once found in a Kel Tec 9mm with its cracked frame. That problem could have led to a "problem" if it hadn't been caught early.
