I know some folks do a full-on cleaning every time they fire their rifle. I'm not one of those people. I have 2 cleaning regimens a) the quick clean, if I've only fired a few rounds, or if I know I'm shooting again soon, and b) the full-on routine, if I'm storing for the season, or if there have been more than a few rounds through it.
Here's my quick-clean routine, for bolt-guns.
0) Assure its unloaded.
1) Remove bolt.
2) Spray G-96 on the bore snake.
3) 3 pulls of the snake through the bore.
4) Spray a little G-96 on a patch/cloth and wipe down the bolt and chamber.
5) Replace bolt. Done.
For semi-autos:
0) Assure its unloaded.
1) Open bolt and lock it back.
2) Spray G-96 on the bore snake.
3) 3 pulls of the snake through the bore.
4) Spray a little G-96 on a patch/cloth and wipe down the chamber.
5) Release bolt. Done.
