How do you claen your gun. Yearly, or more often?

[Adam Helmer]

dna,

I clean my guns after every shooting session. Those that I will use in the near future have a light coat of oil in the bores. The guns in the vaults have the bores wiped with a patch of rust inhibiting grease for long term storage. I have dessicant packs in the vaults.

You cannot forgo the cleaning chores if you shoot blackpowder or corrosive ammunition. Both clean up well with hot, soapy water patches, dry patches and then oil patches. I see many used muzzleloaders on the local gunshop racks that did not get cleaned after use. Many military arms have pitted bores because of neglect after shooting corrosive ammo.
