Never unless I am bored or shooting surplus
Lots of experience here. Leaving a barrel dirty works well as long as it is used often. If it is stored dirty it wont work a year later. Varmint shooters will shoot all season and not clean until .the season is over and then they clean till new and star.t over next season. Bench rest shooters use chemical copper cleaners and cotton. No wire brush. Clean every 12 shots and keep clean. I also think you can do more damage with a cleaning rod to a crown than another 200 rds would do.so pic and choose but the one thing I know that doesn't work is storing a gun dirty. It will never work as well as when you put it away. J.Michael
