I have a semi-auto Lamber 12gauge which I use weekly for skeet and sporting clays. I used to clean it (rod it out with a brush, run patches through until clean, & clean the trigger assembly) after each use.I wonder however is this necessary.
Since I am shooting more often, I am getting lazier about it. I may shoot on Sunday, and then again on Wednesday. Should I only clean the barrel? I asked other shooters how often they clean theirs, and most reply that they do it after each outing. Does the lead and plastic for the shell and wad damage the barrel? Will leaving off the cleaning for a couple of days lead to corrosion?
Anyone have any information?
