Smyth Busters: How Often Do You Have To Clean a Gun (Really)?

This video from Smyth Busters debunks the common myth that a firearm must be cleaned after every single use. Brownells Gun Techs Caleb and Steve argue that with modern smokeless powders and corrosion-resistant finishes, rigorous cleaning after every range trip is often unnecessary. They suggest that for most shooters, cleaning once or twice a season is sufficient. However, they highlight specific exceptions, including duck/geese/pheasant hunters, black powder enthusiasts, those operating in wet conditions, and owners of certain firearms like the M1 Garand and M14 (M1A) due to their specific maintenance needs. The video emphasizes that while frequent cleaning won't harm a firearm, it's not the strict requirement many believe.
