I honestly cannot believe some of the replies here.
You work hard to earn the disposable income to allow you to buy a gun or you are fortunate to inherit an heirloom or have a friend who is good enough to get you started.You turn round and say " I never clean my gun" "I have children that I want to spend every spare minute with". Well go ahead, never clean your gun, never change your underwear, never shave, never wash, never go to work, never go to sleep, spend every waking hour with your children, but teach them how to hunt, to clean a gun, and to homeload, respect your fellow man and the wildlife, the balance of nature.It takes a very few minutes to push a cleaning rod through your bores, lubricate the important wear and pivot points, probably less time than it takes to fill your fuel tank and pay the cashier. So just do it.
Until someone proves to me that I can bag more game, break more clays and increase the value of my gun by neglecting it, I will take the time to clean mine, thank you.
