>me cleaning my gun after a 50 round range trip
>>64218498I clean my gun every time I shoot before going home. call me crazy but I'm paranoid about lead and all the chemicals in the solvents
>Me declaring my new handgun the perfect sidearm after a 100 round torture test
>>64218498>me having to physically chisel the gunk out of my silenced 22 because I'm a retard who doesn't want to re-zero any more than I have to during hunting season (September through February)
>mfw i dont clean anything ever
>browsing tacswap for a new recoil spring after finishing off my 500 round box of ammunition
>>64218498Do people unironically do this?I've shot hundreds of rounds through my Henry AR7 survivalist rifle and still haven't cleaned it:I'm gonna clean it after I've fired thousands of rounds through that gun!
If I had a target rifle that sucker's getting swabbed and oiled every 25 rounds
>>64219770Yes, I love my guns and I like to pamper them
>>64218498Good on you for taking care of your hobby anon
>>64219770The more you shoot, the less you clean. The people bitching the most about the benefits and necessities of cleaning are the ones who shoot less than 200-300 rounds a year.
>>64218498Ngl I love cleaning my Mp5sd. It's a dirty bitch but so quiet and a blast to shoot. I clean it after every range trip since I usually shoot about 500 rounds each trip.
>>64219770>Do people unironically do this?Most of the time, unless it's a range workhorse like my RxM. And every 3 days or so for my CCW before work, even if it hasn't been shot.>>64220400>The more you shoot, the less you clean.That's fair, but I'd swap it to>The more frequently you shoot a particular firearm, the less you cleannit.
>>64220421>sdjelly.
>>64220435It has a super safety too :)
>>64220459you're a wildman. I got a tri lug can for mine. Some day I wanna add a sd clone to my collection.
>>64220428M&Ps are underrated
You clean your guns, but do you also clean your pps?
>>64220474you oughta clean out that dirty little mouth of yours, bucko.
>>64220474Its the only way to get the stank off
>>64220466I reccomend the century Ap5sd with a mp5sd barrel swap and locking lug. It's what I have and it works flawlessly. I have about 2100 rounds through it with no issues. Since you like HKs as well you might like my next build. I have a MP5K Schießkoffer Suit Case replica on the way
>>64220496>century AP5SDholy shit. Yeah alright didn't realize it was so in reach, pricewise. Thanks for the lead.
>>64220517Np! They came in at the start of the new year. I was saving up for a Dakota tactical one but 2 weeks before I pulled the trigger on it, the century ap5sd got announced! I wish it was imported with the ported barrel and locking piece but on well. Still way cheaper than previous options.
>>64220400I hate cleaning but lots of historical arms have shit for surface treatment and will rust if you so much as look at them
>>64220552my ex's dad had a duck gun he inherited from his own dad that was worth something over 10 grand. Had to handle it with special cloth because the grime on your hands would mark it up. Felt silly when I was in my 20s, makes sense now that I'm older. Shit was cool.
>>64219770I clean after every range session for the same reason I avoid the used weapons market. I believe that each gun has a machine spirit imbued by its owner. The guns I always see fail at the range are by the fat, old, and lazy. And whenever it happens to me, it’s due to the failure of my flesh and not observing the sacred sacraments of cleaning. If I engage the enemy, and am killed before I have the chance to fire…at least I died with a clean body, soul and tools. Can you say the same?
>>64220908based and 100% accountable pilled. If I am struck down by gunfire I pray it is done by someone like you.
>>64219770i try to clean them once every 3-4 months if i've shot them at all in that timeframe.ones i dont shoot i try to clean once a year.
>>64220908Or you could just use a Glock and AK with superior machine spirits
That was such a difficult habit to kill for me. Will over cleaning hurt anything? Doubtful. Is it a big time suck? Yes. Used to autistically strip a gun down to every fucking screw and clean it as though it were going into a museum forever
>>64220428GET THE BRAKE CLEANER NOW
>>64220428average "it's okay to run guns wet" gun owner
>>64220908Could one not also argue that the machine spirit can be affected by each concurrent owner? If I buy an old, damaged Detective Special, and I take it home, clean it, replace the parts that are too damaged, touch up the finish with a fresh bluing, would the machine spirit of the gun not respect me for giving it the care it deserves?
>>64221469If your rifle needs a gallon of oil to run, that's God saying your rifle is a piece of shit.
>>64220400Ah, a the Deadmans argument. You shoot until failure. The experienced shooter cleans after every outing. Familiarize, inspect, replace or repair. Failure in a firearm is unacceptable and avoidable.
>me cleaning my guns frequently despite never shooting them
>me when my rifle's barrel taps against a doorframe
>>64219770>>64220400idk, for a basic cleaning is it really that hard to field strip, run a few patches through the barrel, give it a few drops of oil and give everything a wipedown? it's like, badda bing badda boom. barely takes any time, five minutes tops. dont be lazy lol>>64220908based and knower pilled
Sometimes I just wanna pull out my BCG and look at it, and I end up wiping it down with a cloth and relubing it when I put it back in. Same with my pistols, I just wanna play with them and I basically end up wiping them down anyway. Cleaning just happens gradually as I mess with them. I do the same thing with my knives and tools and everything else that needs lubrication to not degrade
>firing your gun after disassembling and cleaning it for the first time
>>64218498I only do that with my 2011 just to make sure it's extra smooth and well I spent a fucking lot of money on it and it's one of my favorites
>>64221856Yeah
>>64221856Military/police trade ins, heirlooms, guns taken from surrendered and/or dead foes all have spirits that can be brought under your domain. But I avoid guns whose owner willingly sold them. What manner of man would trust a gun who’s been betrayed by its master?
>>64221961>Firing your gun for the first time
>>64222582>What manner of man would trust a gun who’s been betrayed by its master?I can fix her and her abandonment issues.
>>64220908>>64222582Younger guns don't usually have spirits yet so it doesn't matter. They need to either have blood or age on them. My Steyr M95 has one, but my newly made stuff doesn't.
>mail order my gay poverty pony ar15>put it together with some rando bcg and charging handle off cabelas i think>don't have any gun oil stuff >but be mechanic>use engine assembly oil left over from a 302 i put together>lather the bcg in it like a camshaft because funny, i probably found this funny because i was a severe alchohalic at the time>assembly oil is so tacky that the bcg atually stops merely half a milimeter before being shut, just enough to not cycle and fire the next round>haha fuck>only way to cycle is to mortar the charging handle and or fiddlefuck with the forward assist but the forward assist seemed, neither worked 100% of the time>thin the assembly oil with deisel/atf>gun works for the next 100 odd rounds>never play with it anymore, only bought it because of the big noid riots.
You're all sick people.I hope you all get cancer. Fuck youse all.I put a curse upon you all.Fuck yamudda
>>64223148ok nibger
>>64220428how 400iq is it to just design the gun to have deeper crevices for the gunk to fall into where there are no moving parts for it to interfere with
>>64223154Fuck yamudda
>>64221856>would the machine spirit of the gun not respect me for giving it the care it deserves?It will, but it will need time to trust again anon. Some people do not want to go through that process; justifiably so if it's their daily carry.
>>64223170>how 400iq is itMore like baby-proofing.Don't get me wrong, the Kalashnikov platform is a masterpiece design; that however is more a statement about the army it was to be used for.The loose tolerances are to make up for an MIC where, due to stalin's unrealistic quota systems, shortcuts were bound to be taken in production. A mechanism designed to operate without the need for in depth maintenance was both to make up for a logistics system that was unlikely to regularly supply necessary maintenance equipment and expendables, as well as retarded conscripts who were likely to have never handled a self-loading gun before.There is a reason why the Kalashnikov is an evolutionary dead end, and every attempt to have it directly compete with the AR platform or the like fucking fails to catch on; the design has perfectly achieved everything it was intended to be, and that is to be a dead-simple general issue assault rifle. All attempts to meaningfully "modernize" it or specialize it or add on shit generally fails because you are taking a "perfect" design (as in one that has completely achieved the original intention) and make it do things it was never meant to do, which at best results in something imperfect that costs way more than the thing it's trying to imitate.
>>64221205Not yet.
>>64220474Whats the point? Its only gonna get dirty again.
>>64222893Adopted guns will be loyal to a good owner because they know what it's like to be neglected
>>64220908Praise the Omnissiah
>>64219770I like taking apart and reassembling guns, it's part of the fun.
>>64218498>PicHe looked exactly like a guy that I was friends with. Older man. He passed away last week at 94 from cancer.
>>64219770I do. It relaxes me.
>>64221856>tfw my k31 wil become tsukumogami in 9 yearsyou bet your ass im pampering her
>>64223326The AK is the best WW2 rifle ever produced Take that however you want it
>>64227455my monkey brain is telling me to say Mating sex Raw Ejaculation And Marriage
>>64218498Sure, why not? If you got the time, it doesn't hurt. No need to treat your guns as range sluts and never clean them out of laziness.
>>64226962Cancer's a scourge. Sorry to hear that. Maybe someday it will be cured, but I pity all those who would never live long enough to see it happen
>>64220400>The more you shoot, the less you cleanthis, desu. when you shoot once a month, cleaning is sort of a novelty. when you start going every week or every other week it does get tiresome.
