How often do you clean..

I might have cleaned some of my magazines ONE time in the last 10,000 rounds or so.

Hopefully he let it cool down first! That could hurt! [ROFL2]

One of the nice things about the AR platform is how reliable it is even when not inspection clean. I have gone months in the field with out doing anything but a few punches of the bore and some brushing of the bolt carrier and never had an issue. I had the same reliability as the guy who spent hours on his rifle. I would give the whole thing a good cleaning when it went back in the armory though. Though the mags got blown own and wiped down with a rag and that was it.

I clean my mags after every time that I use them.

Maybe once every year or two, depending on how much I use them. If one gets dirty or muddy, I'll hose it out (pmags) and give it a drop of oil on the spring.

Ivy cleaned out my AK mags in the past but none of the others. When I do clean them, they just get wiped down.

i don't even clean cosmoline off, i just cook it off haha

yeah I think I have clean any of my mags once or twice ever... thousands of rounds..

I'm bad at cleaning my mags...unless there's a loading issue I don't even open them up
