When To Clean?
There is a lot of controversy over when you should clean your fi****ms. While a lot of the discussion may come down to personal preference and orderliness, we have to keep the main purpose in mind.

You want to prevent metal degradation in your firearm, like rust. Also, your guns will perform much better when they are well cleaned and oiled.

Whenever you fire any ammo with corrosive loads, it’s definitely time to clean afterwards. Most modern ammunition doesn’t fall into this category, but older military surplus ammo most likely does. Corrosive loads leave behind chemicals that will eat away at the metal in your guns, which is not good.

Another situation is if you choose to shoot cheap ammo. This type of ammo usually has dirty loads that leave behind a lot more residue in your barrel when fired. Medium to more expensive ammo will usually shoot more clean these days. The more gunk you have in your barrel over time can begin to eat away at the metal.

Of course, any time you put a lot of rounds of any sort through your firearm, you will definitely be due for a cleaning. Even if its high quality ammo, over many rounds there’s no way to avoid collecting gunk in the firearm.

Some people claim they can put 5,000 rounds through their well designed gun and it still fires great. That’s amazing, but what happens after 10 years of doing that?

2. Effective Cleaners
One main problem that I used to have is that I was using the wrong chemicals to clean my fi****ms. Because of this, the process would take a long time and be a lot of work. That’s when I discovered that there are much better cleaners out there.

The higher performing cleaners are designed to efficiently and effectively break down the residue and gunk in your firearm. That way you can easily remove it with your brushes and swabs. If you have a crappy cleaner, then you can expect to have to brush and swab many times over and over again. With the right cleaner, the run-throughs drastically decrease.
