Post by: Calamity Jane on October 14, 2004, 02:06:15 PM: Everythang gets tore down, cleaned, oiled, and reassembled once per year.

After every match the pistols get a hot water bath, baked at 250 fer an hour, oiled, 'n' put away. Scattergun (SxS) gets the barrels soaked in the tub. Rifle gets a patch down 'er bore, a bit of cleaner in the action, and oiled.

If'n I'd knowed cleanin up from Blackpowder waz so easy, I'd'a never messed 'round with that danged "smokeless" stuff!

Post by: Russ T Chambers on October 14, 2004, 02:53:23 PM: Pistols -- at least once every year
Rilfe -- at least once every six months or so (by the way, it's due)
Shotgun -- twice in the fifteen years I've had it.

Post by: Micheal Fortune on October 14, 2004, 04:08:24 PM: Pistols every 3 months
Rifle every 6 months, so hard to get back together
Shotgun?

All of my weapons get scrubed and cleaned after every shoot.

I start taking the screws out and cleaning the inside of the action as described.

My shotgun is always broken down and cleaned after each shoot but have yet to take the butt stock off and clean the hammers and such.

Post by: Major E A Sterner on October 14, 2004, 08:36:26 PM: Pistols & Rifles a couple times a year( I like to tweak them every so often, see if I can make them better)
Shotgun, Once a year whether it needs it or not.

Post by: Sisquoc on October 14, 2004, 09:34:59 PM: The rifle's been torn all the way down once, by my gunsmith, Old Lone$um at Walker '47. Since then, I've started using the aerosol Gunscrubber on all four pieces. I know I oughta do it right after the monthly match, but it usually ends up being a day or two before the next monthly match. :o I also use the Remington aerosol lubricant. ;D

Post by: Big Hext Finnigan on October 14, 2004, 10:53:45 PM: I clean them when they quit working or I just can't stand it. ;)

Recently I broke down and cleaned an 1894C after at least 2 years and thousands of rounds. It still worked, but the gunk was just awful.

Title: Re: How often....
Post by: Marshal Will Wingam on October 15, 2004, 06:24:30 PM: I never completely dismantle them for cleaning. :o I do, however, take them apart to tweak or fiddle with something inside. They get a thorough cleaning then. Normally, it's cylinder out, clean & oil anything I can on the pistols. Shotgun, forestock & barrels off. Rifle, whatever I can get to by working the action.

Post by: Blondetta on October 16, 2004, 10:11:13 AM: I used to clean them everytime I used them. Now, it's only twice a year. ;)

That avatar picture.... what tribe are ya?

Last of tha Moe-chickens? :P
Title: Re: How often....
Post by: Sagebrush Burns on October 20, 2004, 04:59:16 PM: As rarely as possible (within the bounds of functionality). I'm a lazy slacker.
Title: Re: How often....
Post by: Tangle Eye on October 20, 2004, 10:37:41 PM: Pistols - Never. I take out the cylinder, wash and wipe, apply Ballistol, and back together after every match.

Shotgun - Never. Just clean out the barrels and wipe everything down. Then apply Ballistol and I'm done.

Rifle - Completely about every 3rd match with any particular rifle. Barrel and visible action parts after every match. (I'm hoping a recent switch to .454 bullets will stop the infamous .45 Colt blow back and keep the rifle action cleaner.)

Post by: Blondetta on October 22, 2004, 01:01:32 PM: I usually tear them down once, a year. I clean them, when they need it. Guess, I'm not out shooting enough. ;)
