Do you disassemble to clean every time?

No, I don't clean every time. I do always give them a shot of oil, mostly to avoid rust. It's a shotgun, not a fine swiss watch. There have been years that I've shot around 20,000 rounds on the clays course. With a quality gun, not cleaning everytime is no big deal. I know I'll get alot of negative feedback for my post, but this is what I do.
I will say, if I shoot in bad weather, I am gonna clean and dry it.
 
It would seem then, from the comments above, that it is NOT excessive maintenance ruining guns, but IMPROPER maintenance being done by inept individuals using the wrong tools and techniques.

My shotguns have very tight tolerances between mated surfaces - to allow grime, carbon build-up, etc. to remain in there would lead to excessive wear, galling, and possible malfunctioning as a result.

IMO, too many folks think they know what they are doing and either apply too much force or use the wrong tools........

YMMV

Yes.

Just to take us back to the original post.

Oneounceload is dead on. It isn't cleaning or disassembly that cause problems it is IMPROPER disassembly and cleaning that are the culprit.

So, because I don't know how to PROPERLY change the oil in my car I should just never change it?

Maybe I should pay someone that knows how to do it PROPERLY, or perhaps I should learn to do it PROPERLY myself.
