Cleaning Frequency

[Air-cooled]

This is strange but true. I like cleaning my guns a lot more when I'm smelling Hoppe's No. 9. Maybe it's not THE best, but it sure makes the job pleasant.

At 72 ….I just started using it but when I did the scent brought back memories of my dad cleaning his rifles in the basement

Here's my question for the Hoppe's nay sayers. If it is so bad why is it still so popular? Of course I'm sure somewhere there is a graveyard full of firearms destroyed by even being exposed to Hoppe's fumes.

My GUNS all get cleaned after each range trip. But that's not the whole story. Cleaning is maybe just a wipe down or complete disassemble. Depends on the firearm and how much I used it and when it's going to be used again. Cleaning them also gives you another chance to look at the firearm closely for things that might be wearing, loose or broken.
