Depends on the gun... Blued MK II, shot in the summer (i.e. exposed to my sweat)... must be cleaned in 12 hours or less to prevent rust.

Glocks... not required. Clean occasionally- especially the hosts. Those suppressors are dirt injectors as far as the pistol is concerned.

Bolt guns, generally a wet patch cleaning while I'm still at the range- no mess in the house that way.

Semi-auto rifles... eh, maybe when I get around to it.

When they start having issues, ill clean them lol. They will run for quite a while, as long as you add a couple drops of oil every 500 or so rounds

Yeah, I clean mine when I get bored and have a few minutes UNLESS it's my O/U. That gets cleaned immediately after I get home or the bore/chamber can get pitted too easily. The rest of my stuff gets a wipe down every now and then. I only detail my AR's every 2-3 range visits if that.

I use to be OCD about it, but time constraints have dimished the amount of fucks I have to give lately ...lol

Now that I think about it- I really need to clean the lint out of the nightsights on my G26.

I wish someone would make nightsights with flush set vials so there would be no recess to collect lint on a carry gun.
Night sights? Well aren't you friggin fancy...
Honest to God, the sights on my EDC G19 are the stock sights with the rear sight blacked out with a sharpie.
