Typically microfiber. I make sure to clean anything off the feed ramp.  Maybe follow with a  silicone impregnated flannel cloth. Clean powder residue flashlight lens. Might run a dry patch or simply shove a paper towel down the barrel. Might hit it with a very light dab of CLP, then wipe off excess. Might use some lubriplate too.Whenever, typically every half dozen range trips, or every 3-4 months of shooting I will disassemble, soak in simple green, and scrub with nylon brush. Run patch down the barrel, typically just a dry one. Liberal dose of CLP, maybe use a little lubriplate on the rails.Every year or so I’ll repeat the disassemble and soak/scrub, but actually clean the barrel. Usually use whatever I have laying around to remove copper/lead. I think hoppes is what I’ve been using. Disassemble and wipe down magazines. Actually lube everything properly.Revolvers are reasonably similar, as are my bolt actions. I am a little more methodical and careful with my shotguns, they’re my babies. Don’t ask about my rimfire as or AR’s/AK’s, lol.[ATTACH=full]430481[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
