Level 4 – Cleaning

handgun - most pistols

How often should I clean my gun? What is the best way to clean my gun?

The short answer: “follow the recommendations and guidance found in your owner’s manual” (and by the way, most owner’s manuals can be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website). I usually also add in something like “take care of your gun so your gun will be able to take care of you.”

Level 4 – Detailed Cleaning: This is usually how I clean my guns. We will field strip your firearm per instructions found in your owner’s manual;

Once the firearm is field stripped, we will clean the barrel; use an AP brush to knock off as many particles as possible. Next, apply a liberal amount of cleaning oil to a bore brush and run it through the barrel. After the chemicals have had time to bust up the carbon, run patches through the barrel to ensure it is clean and dry. After the barrel, concentrate on the recoil system, slide, and/or lower receiver, bolt, bolt carrier group, etc., cleaning each with the AP brush, Q-Tips, and a rag. Once all components are clean, we will apply a small amount of oil to key friction points as listed in the owner’s manual. Once complete, reassemble and conduct a functions check.

This is the most popular cleaning package we offer.
