[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1625554, member: 13632"] I n very wait till accuracy falls of, by the time it's noticable and your convinced it's time to clean your a ways down the road from where it should have been done, guy complain about bullet cost all the time yet they shoot half a box to figure out if they need to clean or not, makes no sense. Cleaning is a maintenance thing like changing oils and filters in a machine, do you waiting till your engine is running like butt to service it? I clean carbon fairly regularly, if I have a barrel that I have to clean because of copper I'm likely to rebarrel it. I don't know how often I clean its probably about 50 rounds tops, and only to bare metal when I change bullets. Every fee cleanings I use an abrasive cleaner and hit the throat to keep it smooth and then push the patch through which keeps the carbon broke down. The amount of bad shooting rifles I see because of the little to no cleaning idea is of the charts, guys spend more time and money trying to not clean than they would if they just did regular maintenance!!
