[QUOTE="speedengineer, post: 1928812, member: 112986"] I personally am not experienced enough to have an opinion either way. But let's play devils advocate for a minute.... Just because you can purchase a bore scope, take a look, and see nasty dirty carbon and copper, doesn't necessarily mean anything. It may mean a lot, and I'm not saying it doesn't. For comparison, if you shoved that borescope down the spark plug hole on your car you'd see tons of nasty carbon layers on the piston and combustion chamber walls. A person without automotive experience may immediately assume their engine is running poorly. However, it is expected to have carbon all over, and it can be running 100% strong and healthy. Rifles aren't cars, and perhaps it's a worthwhile endeavor to clean them out frequently. But arriving at the conclusion that a rifle needs cleaning simply because it looks dirty is incorrect. If you correlate that it's shooting poorly or suffering damage due to being dirty, then that is a good reason to clean frequently... [/QUOTE]
