Post Your GUN (PICS)

With the Ruger 10/22 I've noticed that when you use standard federal rounds, led heads, not jacketed the jam rate is minimalized. Keep them clean folks.

The ruger I disassembled in the summer belonged to my uncle, and was in the keeping of my granddad. Apparently they think you never need to clean guns... :thinking: every once in a while, he will run a bore snake down the barrel, but he obviously never opened it up. There was a ton of crud in there. However, it didn't really seem to affect performance all that much. Most of the jams were due to ammo size, not the gun being dirty, LOL. Also, that had me wishing for some nano-lube. I was stuck with this mediocre Remington lube stuff, but the 10 weight nano-lube sold by someone over at CPF is supposed to be absolutely incredible on firearms.
 
Cleaning guns? Bahh.

I fully clean my guns on exactly one occasion: when they get wet. Any other time, it's just not worth it. I've fired my shotguns over 10,000 times without cleaning, and never had a problem. A drop or 2 of oil on the trouble spots, a good wipe-down to get skin oils off, and quality guns will run forever that way. If it gets wet though is a different story, that requires a full cleaning, inside and out.

Barrel cleaning is another issue entirely though.

I shoot quite often and would always recommend cleaning your gun after a round at the range. My carry weapon will never go in the bag without a good cleaning... my life could depend on it.

I clean my gun every time I shoot it. However, at work I have shot some AR15s with well over 10,000 rounds with out being cleaned. You have got to keep it lubed though.

Don't you use expensive O/U shotguns? There's really no way the firing assembly can get dirty in those, so you have less to worry about. If you've ever taken apart a 10/22 or other inexpensive semi-auto, you see how easy it is for crap to get around the bolt or in the trigger grouping, through no fault of the gun.

Certainly- High-quality guns will shoot a lot of rounds without jamming even if you don't clean them (I've heard stories of 40 thousand plus rounds without significant failures through glocks, no cleaning or lubing), but it's just more wear and tear on the internals. Plus cleaning them is fun. :evil:
 
^^^^^Cleaning your gun should keep it's value up and help reduce wear and tear, but for an everyday cheap gun, who really cares. Lol. Just make sure you keep the bore clean and no obstructions in the barrel.

Either way, it's like I said, I always clean my gun after I shoot it. I will always recommend that everyone does this.
 
buy a glock...
cleaning? fugetaboutit.

You clean that silencer, right? Because I know for a fact that those things stop working after a few thousand rounds without cleaning...

Basically like I said, who cares about cleaning a cheap piece of junk...LOL JK

I will be honest though...I'm not a huge fan of glocks....They just don't trip my trigger, if you know what I mean. :)

EDIT: Also...If you don't mind me asking, do you have a license for that silencer? If not, your just asking for jail time posting that on here. If you do, how much did it cost you to register it?

I've seen glocks so shot out that you could caulk the thing just shoving your arm forward hard enough. thats well over 40,000 rounds (claimed).

Not really a "license" involved... the bureau just wants your $200... :whistle:

I really doubt anyone has been arrested for posting a silencer online. However, I do know about a guy that was arrested for posting a picture of his trijicon sights. Turns out he bought them from a soldier who stole them. The government actually records the serial # of EVERY SINGLE weapon accessory they issue apparently, and even looks for them online... :thinking:

I guess, it all depends on the state you live in as well. Me being from the great state of Chicago, I am not allowed to own or poses a silencer. I'm not very familiar with the laws for Silencers because of this, so thanks for clearing me up on this. Since I work for...who I work for...I do have access to several of them, but I wouldn't be caught dead with one outside of company time.

LOL...I just realized how often my co-workers and I bring in Rifles to the office at work. It's like an everyday thing. I'm so used to seeing them there. I think at any other office/work place, people would be calling 911.


FYI: Happy 2,000 post to you:)

To be honest I haven't done much research in to what it takes to get a silencer-but back in idaho my friend told me a bit about the process (send in a $200 tax stamp, then wait very patiently) and one time I saw a guy buying a silencer in the local high-end gun store, basically he gave the guy $200 plus a paperwork fee and the guy said "Go talk to the sheriff and we'll give you a call in about a month." I suppose the sheriff needed to sign something.

Also, thanks :na:
I can't believe I'm a double LPF veteran. :confused: :p

you can have a sheriff/police chief sign it, or you can buy it through a trust
 
No license required... just a $200 excise tax.
Cleaning (of the silencer) IS REQUIRED though. :D

You wouldn't believe how dirty a suppressor makes a gun too... blows a bunch of crap back into the gun and magazine. That glock probably has well over 2000 rounds without cleaning. I carry it everyday and use it in shooting competition too. It's jammed ONCE (FTF during a competition). Everyone watching couldn't believe a bone-stock glock just jammed. We just stared at it like WTF!!!.

It was using cheap korean mags... so I figure that must've been the culprit. Oh well. No jams since.
