How many rounds without cleaning

[team sidewinder]

I have tried to kick the addiction of cleaning my weapons everytime I come back from shooting but so far it is a work in progress. I do think the .22 can go a lot longer without cleaning and I think too much cleaning of the .22 can become more harmful than less cleaning. Just my .02

It is an apples to oranges comparison,,

But there is "The Tale of Ol' Dirty. A Texas Legend"

Current count is nearing 16K rounds..

Here is a July 2005 picture at 9.6K..

I do not endorse the abuse and cruel treatment of firearms..

Always have cleaned every weapon after every session, minimum 1-2 bricks per weapon per trip. I'm not OCD or anything but I have been working on cars/racebikes/trucks/boats my whole life so I know the value of preventative maintenance. A little extra cleaning/care helps it last a long time. I just wish we had 25rd mags in cali. Going through bricks with 10rd reloads makes your left index and thumb go numb for days.

I clean them every time I shoot. I have never heard that a firearm won't shoot because it is clean.

I'm with you guys I clean my 15-22 every time I shoot it. I just enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that all my weapons are ready to roll at anytime.
