Anybody else take a day,at least once a year,and clean all their guns?
Strongarm,you don't need to reply,I already know how anal you are about cleaning everything

M-4, ehhhh, maybe once a week(I clean my optics and brush it off everyday).
| I try to clean my guns pretty often. Ironically, the 22/45 will jam the fastest, and I hate cleaning it the most out of everything else. That gun is seriously a PAIN to take down. The other guns have never jammed due to lack of cleaning, except for my XD that I decided to shoot USPSA and steel matches an entire summer without cleaning. Went 5k before getting a piece of brass wedged in the extractor and wouldn't extract the spent shell. Blew it out and kept goin. |

All my guns are tools and I use them as such. If it actually needs cleaning for some reason I may get around to it eventually. In all seriousness if I owned a gun that actually required meticulous, thorough cleaning on a regular basis in order to maintain its accuracy/reliability etc., it would be gone in a heartbeat.

Except for a couple from Booger (  ), I shoot them until they either quit working or when my hands get too dirty from manually extracting empty casings. Then they get a buff and polish. No one has to worry tho, I'd lose them in a lake before I ever ended up selling any.

Be gentle Nemo! 
Since over 2/3 of my "dust" collection has never left the house, or have been shot less than 3 times since purchased, I don't clean that often...if I have something that needs cleaning I'll take it over to Strongarms place and he'll feel sorry for it and clean it for me.
