[QUOTE="Radman, post: 2772750, member: 112033"] I clean firearms after every outing whether I fire 300 rounds (shotguns), or even just 1 shot (rifle). Afterwards they always get a good oil rubdown whether it's for storage or for being shot in pouring rain all day long the next time. I use the same cleaning technique for any type firearm: 1) Using 2 patches get the barrel I.D. soaked with Hoppes #9. 2) Run a dry patch through. 3) Run a bronze brush soaked with Hoppes through once, both directions. 4) Run wet patches through, both directions, until fairly clean. 5) Run dry patches through until they come out clean & dry. 6) Run an oiled patch both directions through bore. 7) Clean trigger assembly, bolt & receiver internals thoroughly with Q-tips then oil. 8) Rub down all exterior metal & wood, (if applicable), with light oil & secure. Next outing I fire 1 fouling shot which is rarely needed. Overkill? Admittedly. Regrets? None in 56 years. (I don't own a borescope) [/QUOTE]
