Clean magazines. Maybe pistol, never rifle. When a Rifle mags stops working they are worn out of spec. Pistol mags and subjective to the gun.

you guys clean your mags? granted i have 1 ar15 that ive shot twice. but the only time ive cleaned mags are a couple of ak mags right before i restored and re-blued them and when i bought black painted east german ak74 mags i wiped the black paint off with denatured alcohol.

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

magazine clips?

magazine clips?

Yeah my gun pistol

[BPTactical]

magazine clips?

Bingo!
I have magazines which may get a swirl in the solvent tank if they are gritty or such and my clips get a wipe down.

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

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
