It’s about the quality of the ammo you use, not just maintenace of a firearm
There are a lot of myths about gun cleaning and one of them is that firearms need to be cleaned after every use. I remember the times going to gun clubs with friends and some of them would bail out because they didn’t want to shoot on a rainy day and get their guns wet. That cracks me up becaues 90% of the handguns, rifle and shotguns they own are all used in military style situations and can surely be used out in the field for long periods of times. One reason composite firearms have an advantage in certain environments is their low maintenance and need for lubrication. Over cleaning according to many expert firearm instructors can cause more damage than not cleaning it.
When comes to something like an AR15, it’s fact that lubrication has far more to do with proper function that cleaning it all the time. I have a large cache of gun cleaning supplies and some of them are things I probable should throw away if they weren’t toxic. I have been a big fan of M-Pro7 gun cleaning supplies although I have yet to test out any of the copper cutters or copper removers from them. I really think I may only have 1 gun that can benefit from it and it’s not something I’m really worried about because it’s still an MOA rifle. There are lots of new cleaning kits and gun lubes for you to consider buying because the new gun oils ect. really are much safer and better for you.
