Cleaning Guns

[JohnJacobH]

Hoppe's seems to work fine, but we clean after every firing...maybe some folks don't do that.
My wife uses one of those lead remover rags on her stainless S&W 686- cleans it quick, but I don't think you want to use it all the time.

Exactly, never let the sun set on a dirty gun!

Some properly sized cleaning jags carried in the case to the range or field, a complete breakdown cleaning every few months for all the fiddly parts
and you are good to go nearly 100 percent of the time.

How did you get your wife to clean her own revolver?

Best regards,

Hmm, my wife insists on cleaning all her own guns.  She says it is just extending the fun of shooting to after the range when we get home, and she feels good in know how to take them down and how to clean them.

I'm a bore snake believer.  Darn things are amazing!

I like to put a wet patch or two down a rifle barrel at the range.  Plug the ends and let it soak until I get home.  I think the warm barrel just speeds things up a bit.  Got to watch what you do this with so it isn't harming the barrel steel.

My wife has always cleaned her own gun because she sincerely believes that I will not get it clean enough.
She's probably right, but when she's done it looks like it just came out of the bag.

You're supposed to clean them?





Just kidding.

Usually Break Free or M-Pro 7 Cleaner, Lube, or CLP. IIRC, S&W and Hoppes Elite are M-Pro7 too.
