CLP aerosol the cylinder and barrel. Spiff up the cylinder face and the
cone a bit with a Chore Boy.Run a bore snake through barrel and cylinder a few times. Check the extractor for debris.Wipe off. |

I don't think anyone's doing anything wrong, whether you clean to sanitary conditions or clean once in a while or maybe never at all.
If it does anything for the comparison - There was a time when I trained heavily, twice a day, five days a week. Several hundred rounds of SWC lead, non jacketed, every morning then repeated in the afternoon or after dark. We didn't clean till the weekend. If I were to clean till I saw white patches back then, compared to clean till white after one range trip today, it's the same number of patches needed. I don't know if that means it didn't get any more dirty in the intense training use or if the cleaning I did was just as effective in light or heavy leading. It's the same gun (model 66). It's the same chemical (BreakFree CLP). I think it's even the same cleaning rods, not that that has anything to do with it. It's the same human doing the cleaning. Same patches etc. Sgt Lumpy |

Revolvers are a pain to clean. I get lazy with my autos too. They get completely broken down about every 500 rounds but in between I just clean the bore and chamber as best I can with slide still in place.

Two bore snakes.
One saturated in your favorite cleaner , the other saturated in your favorite gun oil . Pull the cleaner snake through the barrel and each chamber twice. Pull the oiler snake through the barrel and each chamber twice. Wipe down the exterior....you are done |
