    A dirty bore is really not a bad thing.
    After I sight my hunting rifle in I don't clean it until hunting season is over.
    I think people get obsessed with cleaning their barrels.

    When I was in Garand shooting matches and Highpower matches everyone took a fouling shot to get their barrel primed for competition.

    I use Gunslick after the season is over. Then, oil on a patch and put them up.

    Bob, at Freedom Arms, believes that more damage is done to their revolvers by persons cleaning them than by people shooting them. I have a friend who is a former champion shooter. He cleans his revolver when it get dirty enough that the action begins to bind.

    I have not gotten quite to that point, but I have slowed on my propensity to clean after every use.

    I'm sure I damaged my revolver barrel with excessive cleaning. Fortunately for me the revolver (S&W 686) recently required a repair that was covered by the factory, and came with a new bbl. I'm backing off the cleaning, lately.

    On the other hand I have a friend who cleans as little as possible; his 2 yr old Ruger .44 is starting to show pitting on the cylinder already.
