How often do you all disassemble a railed rifle or pistol to clean the barrel surfaces under it?
If you don't, what if anything do you do to try and clean it?
What is a railed rifle or pistol? Im guessing you mean an AR style with a picatinny forearm.. in that case, never unless Im in the mood to re-zero or some other compelling reason.How often do you all disassemble a railed rifle or pistol to clean the barrel surfaces under it?

This has to be the only thread in history that makes me seem OCD Lol, no worries I'll just be over here oiling up my gas block...if you know what I mean
I used to clean every gun meticulously before I put it away. That got old after a while and now I do the minimum necessary to assure the gun will not rust and will run a few hundred rounds the next time I take it out. Some guns get a thorough cleaning each time because they may not see use again for months or years. Some guns get the bore, bolt and carrier/slide done and that's it. Some, like a .22 bolt action, may go right back in the safe it I'm going to use it again soon.Is there a good solvent brand that can be sprayed in there and maybe let it soak overnight then spray off again and air dry?
At some point I want to replace the handguard and planned on give it a good cleanup there but then same delimma. I wonder if there is a good grease that can be applied that wont melt off when the bbl gets hot.
