Sort of new to the AR World. Have had one for about a year now. only put about 250 rounds through it

I know that there is a difference in breaking it open, cleaning the bore, barrel, and anything else that is easy to access.

My question is how often should you clean your rilfe like explained above?
and how often should you fully disassemble your file and clean everything?

Thanks in advance!

As often as you shoot you should clean it everytime. Take apart your BCG and clean it as well.

If you start shooting more often I go every 500 rounds or more. But that is like every month or sooner for me. So I clean like once a month but shoot 2-3 times a month.

What's your definition of "fully disassemble"?  There's no need to ever take it down past a field strip.
