ok so after a normal day of shooting at the range how much do you clean your gun? i personally i take the upper off and remove the bolt assembly and clean it off and re-oil it and clean off and dirt i see then put it back togeather. is this enough, to little? how much do you clean?

the trick is not to overzelously clean--too much and it could lead to premature wearing of everything

i usually do a simple wipe down and bore snake it w/ a little CLP lube; not a thourough cleaning unless its every 6mnts or several hundred rnds (which takes me a while to go through)

Hi and welcome to the forums.  Seems like you may be a little light on some stuff.

Our cleaning/maintenance forums can better explain what you need better than I.

Here's a link to our entire forum on the subject:
