You are one lucky dude!I'll ask my wife and get back to you ...........
You are probably overcleaning it.I hate cleaning my AR15.
You are probably overcleaning it.
It does not have to be spic and span in every spot to run reliably. I wish I had taken pics of the upper receiver and barrel extension of my M4gery after day 1 of a two day carbine fighting course.
Most people really do no know how tolerant to dirt and fouling an AR is IF you run it wet inside the bolt carrier.
I think that my P22 is one of the guns that's a pain in the ass to clean. Taking it apart is cake. It's getting that spring and slide back on that I hate....
600 rounds in a day with no cleaning and no malfs. Heavily lubed the inside of the BC in the morning. Added an unnecessary drop at lunch. I could have probably doubled that the next day without cleaning, just a little lube here and there. LMT upper/DPMS lower, NATO chamber, 16" barrel.I've never gotten beyond four hundred or so in an AR without having to spray the hell out of it and brush the chamber. And they are "machinegun uppers" not tight chambered target rifle chambers.
I do that to all my weapons.I completely strip and clean my ARs everytime I fire them, whether I shoot ten rounds or a thousand.
Hate cleaning my Ruger MkIII.....
(Ruger Mark III is the) Biggest pain in the ass to clean. To the point where a douche with some rem oil is about it anymore. It does not like to be reassembled. Fights all the way.
Any double barrel shotgun, be it over/under or side by side.
It just does not get easier than that. Pumps come in a close second.
IMO the hardest to strip award goes to the Ruger MKII/III, hands
down, no contest, it's the biggest pain in the ass firearm out
there WRT stripping and reassembly. It was obviously
designed by a sadist.
It's the only gun I've ever seen which recommends the use of a
MALLET to take it apart or put it back together. Something is just
intrinsically wrong with that.... there's also that little tang thing
that comes out too, and typically a tool is needed for that, cause it
gets stuck in there.
Mine was such a pain in the ass that I got rid of it after about
a year. Never again. (at least not without one of those widgets
attached to it to make it easier to take apart). That, and the
MKIII looks like it was designed by a lawyer more than a
gunmaker. Blech.
I'll stick with my S+W 22A. Probably end up getting another
one with a longer barrel soon.
As far as "easiest" guns go I have to say any Sig P series, as
well as the M1 Garand, AK, and AR rifles. All of them break down
and clean pretty easily. 1911s aren't too bad either, depending
on the configuration of the guide rod/plug/etc.
