I consider My guns as precission insturments and they get cleaned that night , ussually my friends And I have a little cleaning party (I ussually wind up cleaning their guns ) But like what bountyh said I would be embarased If I died and my heirs opened up my safe and found my toys dirty, Heck I b*tch at the gun shop when I look at a used gun that was not cleaned, now he charges a fee if the gun comes in dirty and cleans them up , found out clean guns sell faster, I have gotten compliments about my guns when I bring them in to the smith to have some work done , people think they are new, till I tell them ,alot of people don't know how to clean there guns or care too.
