I have seen a ton of contradictory information on the interwebs about cleaning frequency and preferred methods of cleaning the bore. I am looking for opinions on the traditional rod cleaners vs. a bore snake, frequency of cleaning and cleaning/lubricating materials. Marlin's manual suggests every 500 rounds.
Also, I have yet to fire this particular gun. Would you suggest anything more than a bore cleaning before getting started?
