i clean mine after each matchHow often do you do a complete cleaning of your bolt ?
ThanksI'm a Bench rest shooter. I don't hunt with it so it doesn't get dirty except shooting.
I see no need to take it apart unless i think the lube from lubing the bolt has worked itself in the cocking pice.
I'd say Simi yearly.
I pull the firing pin, spray it all out with carb cleaner, spray the outside down, hobo oil on the body and grease behind the lugs between every target. Mine are fitted pretty good inside so i dont take any chances on gunk causing any bad vibrations
I wanted to clarify my reason not just throw out what i do. Now folks can decide on their own if that gunk is causing any drag or notI first thought this was a little OCD, Then I saw the statement at the bottom of your post. LOL.
