..your magazine clips?
I clean any mags I use after I shoot when I clean my gun. Having a dirty mag is like wearing dirty underwear.[Rant2]
Not often. After 500 runds or so.
Every time I drop them.
That's a bad thing right?Quote:

Really I usually just clean the follower and out side the mag. I don't strip down the mag or anything, not like I get to shoot much all the ammo has been bought for the Zombie Apocalypse so I got to horde what I have.
I clean them when they fail or when I change the springs.
......on the ground.Quote:

Drop one in the mud, and you will want to clean it.

But my magazine clips never get cleaned. Usually when I clip something from a magazine it gets clipped to a notebook or bulleten board and the magazine gets filed for future reference.
Jus sayin[Tooth]
I wont even comment on "magazine clips". Why anyone would say that makes no sense to me.
I clean my magazines if they came in contact with a gritty substance. If not, then I will clean them annually if they were used anytime that year.
Clean magazines are very important, a bind in your spring due to mud or rocks can make all those rounds totally unusable in that moment. Cleaning your mags also gives you a chance to check feed lips, spring strength, and base plate integrity.
I just usualy check my mags after I use them at the range for debris and obstructions,then wipe them down with a little oil.
if i drop an ak mag in the mud i just piss in it though i guess that's considered cleaning it haha actually a ukrainian buddy of mine was literally taught to piss in his ak barrel to clean it in combat situations during basic training haha
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]Quote:

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
Your supposed to clean them???????????? [Dunno]
I hardly ever clean them to be honest. Once I start getting malfunctions I clean them good.
Guess so? The only mags that I own that I would consider cleaning would be the Ruger 22/45 mags, but even those haven't been cleaned. Other than that none of my mags have ever been cleaned. Then again I haven't shot 10,000 rounds through any of the guns I own.Quote:

I clean mine after I wipe my ass with it
I have never cleaned any of my magazines or En-Bloc clips. Never had a failure due to a mag yet.
