How Often You Actually Need to Clean?

The internet will tell you everything from "clean after every single round" to "never clean anything ever." Both extremes are wrong.

Skip the $200 cleaning kits with forty brushes you'll never use.

Don't over-clean. Obsessively cleaning your barrel after every magazine wears down the throat and damages the crown faster than shooting does. Some precision rifle shooters report better accuracy after 50-100 rounds of fouling.

If you see any of the following, stop and take it to a gunsmith:
