Cleaned my gun for the first time after 500 rounds

[Lightsaber]

I knew it would be gunky. I just wasn’t prepared for how gunky. I spent 45 minutes on a job that should’ve taken 20. I now clean it every 200 rounds not because the gun demands it, but because I do.

That first deep clean resets your standards real quick, suddenly maintenance feels like prevention, not punishment.

 

[Dreeew]

I got into the habit of doing quick maintenance more often since it saves time later and makes the gun run smoother.

 

[Rowan]

Yeah, once you see that buildup firsthand, shorter cleaning intervals just feel right even if not strictly necessary.

 Cleaning five hundred rounds of carbon out of a barrel is a lesson you really only need to learn once. I cap now myself at two hundred rounds, because honestly my time is worth a lot more than my stubbornness.
