I’m just happy I don’t have a house with pvc pipe to cook tiny dog sized deer in
Have you seen the monsters we have running around Florida?
Don't get me started on the Keys deer...

Ive not, but have a friend who owns the rights to www.turdme.com if you want to take that shit to the next level.....
The last time I saw a feral iguana was 2006 and it lived next to the SOCOM building.
We still have flocks of green parrots around here.
Iguanas tend to live south of Sarasota. It suits them a little better.

Exactly. Boresnakes seem good for what they are designed for but most often misused. Their care, feeding and usage seems to be misunderstood by most people using them.
If I were headed into the bush for an extended hunt I would most certainly consider one essential. That said, taping my muzzle or covering my can or muzzel break with a quickly removable cover would be my primary line of defense.
Agreed to each his own. I certainly don’t try to sway folks one way or the other. I do pay attention to data and anecdotes. I know Mike at Criterion and consider him a reliable source. That said, that article is just one case study.
I have been a “less is more” cleaner. Only recently have my anecdotal observations and the purchase of a borescope swayed me to clean more.
My base opinion on cleaning is, the less you do it the less you’re exposed to toxic chemicals and lead. I think this is perhaps one of the best arguments for cleaning less.
I have an Stainless E Series 1911 that I purchased a few years back. The gun has been a safe queen and fired a few hundred rounds. I cleaned it but not every time. Here in Wyoming we are a semi arid climate, so I don’t worry much. Last spring after a range trip I decided to give it a good cleaning. Much to my utter shock there were pits in the bore. I was astonished given how little the gun had been used. Long story short, with some convincing S&W replaced the barrel. Now I clean and oil that bore every range trip......
My 280AI hunting rifle seems to develop carbon in the chamber causing pressure spikes. This rifle has gone onto a tighter cleaning regiment because of this and is also cleaned and bore/chamber lightly oiled between seasons, during storage.
I am experimenting with this Montana X-treme oil for bore protection. I don’t really buy into the accuracy hype. However the folks at Gun Werks claim an oiled patch and then a dry patch simulate a fouled bore for the first round. They do not recommend this product by name though.

No I have not. I usually use KG products but recently added Slip 2000 carbon remover which seems to work very well. Below was the first felt push after soaking for 10-15 minutes and running a nylon brush with the Slip 2000. I have to check my book but I’m sure it had less that 50 rounds since previous cleaning without the slip. I have never gotten a felt that black.ever try bore eliminator?

I was was looking for a bore protectant for after the cleaning. Hence the Bore Conditioner. My hope is that it might delay carbon buildup but that might be optimistic.
I may give that Boretech a try sometime. One thing I like about the products listed above, is that the vapors are not noxious. By example CLP is my go-to on the ARs but that is more noxious than I care for unless I am outside.
You want to start a motorcycle oil and tire thread too?
Depends on the motorcycle. Some are some aren’t. BMW’s are separated, Honda’s are not.
When I'm out and about, I carry the Otis stuff. If I make it back to the vehicle camp, I clean with the rod and bore guide I bring along in the Pelican case. If I stay out and about away from the vehicle, and feel like the bore needs a swipe, I use the Otis stuff. At home, it's always the rods with bore guides. Except for my Garand, M1A and the 10/22 stuff...that stuff all gets cleaned with Otis stuff. I am not set up to go chamber to muzzle with those.
I think this thread conflates the "subjective" with the "objective", while comingling all shooters and weapons into one group or another. It seems obvious to me that the discussion about cleaning regiments should vary based on the weapon, indented use etc, etc. From what I can see, it is a proverbial moving target.
As an example, a gamer shooting 1000s of rounds of match ammo a year differs from say a hunter who only check zero and fires a few well placed rounds over the course of a season. Then there a handguns verse black rifles. Semi autos verses wheel guns. Safe queens verses beaters. Suppressed verses unsuppressed.
In the case of my 280 AI, I have a hunting load but am experimenting with other powders and some factory rounds. I know some of my powder choices have produced inefficient and incomplete powder burns. This may well be the cause of my carbon build ups and pressure spikes.
Furthermore, my evolving position towards cleaning more, may simply boil down to the fact that I shoot suppressed most of the time now. Five years ago I did not own a can.......

Talk to your Dewey. If you don't have one, get one. Grief. Hate it when things go wrong. But they go wrong constantly, so adapt!
Cleaning is what you do to your shirt and pants after you get up from shooting in the prone position, often called "dusting off" or "appeasing the wife"
Hey, I'm 70. My wife doesn't give a fig and neither do I. But I like a gun that runs wet and dirty!!!
Well, we WERE talking dusting off after the prone position.......
Don't let Bosslady hear you talking like that, she WILL superglue you! That's what she threatens me with all the time, if I have any fun.

You don't wanna do that, not where she's putting the superglue.
Gears before Beers.
Clean it, ready for the next day/night.
It really is just a personal preference.
I do wonder whether that should apply to semi/automatic firearms more than
bolts.
