[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3250432, member: 9374"] I break 'em down, run a patch through 'em and lube 'em up every few years. ;) I do need to clean my carry gun, it's been a year or so. ;) <edit> I will add, I agree, it's not a bad thing to clean them more frequently, but I definitely don't think it's 100% necessary. Our weapons are in a lot less caustic conditions than alot of soldiers and cowboys in years past whom depended on them a lot more, and I don't believe they broke them down and did a thorough cleaning on them every day, or even every few days. I could be wrong... I WOULD be interested to know, just out of curiosity, for those of you who served in the military in combat operations, how often did you do a thorough breakdown and cleaning of your weapon, vs just running a patch through and adding some oil? Too bad we probably don't have any WWII vets here who could give us an opinion on the olden days', their weapons and the conditions they fought in and how much maintenance they did. [/QUOTE]
