All of the 'gas operated semi-autos' have a tendancy to get pretty dirty even after 100 rounds or so. I think you'll need to clean it after every trip to the range ( and personally, I would anyway ).

A bore snake will only take care of the barrel - you'll need to make sure the o-rings, gas ports, etc are clean and lubed so it will perform for you. All of the gas guns are like this - and you have a good gun / but its a little heavy on the maintenance side ( which is one reason why a lot of guys go to Over Unders on the Trap and Skeet fields ) plus we get tired of picking up our hulls .....for reloading. But after you've cleaned it a dozen times - you can do it easily in 15 or 20 min.
