[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1834784, member: 104363"] I read an article a while back where a smith had customers bringing in guns that barrels were "shot out". Actually, the gun smith claimed they were either improperly cleaned or rarely cleaned, which caused their early demise. My newest custom gun, the builder said "quit cleaning it so much", and let it go for 2-300 rounds since it has a hand lapped barrel. I find it hard to do, since I worry about carbon ring build up. I am compromising and monitoring with a borescope and clean about every 50 rounds with Accelerator and Wipe out. After 100 break in rounds and load development on this new build I'll pay attention to groups opening up at "X" amount of shots. I lean towards clean more than most people I reckon. [/QUOTE]
