I dnt shoot corrosive ammo so I only clean my modern day firearms every now & then. I dnt shoot them much anymore. Leave light oil on the metal & safe queen. I use Hoppe's Elite or # 9 maybe every 300 - 500 rounds.
My black powders revolvers get stripped down the minute I get home & then hot soapy water to clean, light oil everything, put back together & put away. They get used an awful lot.
I learned cleaning the lead out of my 22 cal pellet rifle really hurt the accuracy. I wont ever clean it again.
