Let's hear it.
To remove or not to remove is the question.
Mainly inquiring about rifles.
I don't clean my guns unless the accuracy deteriorates. I don't do competition.
I starting thinking about carbon, carbon rings, ect.
Is keeping carbon in check worth the cleaning time? Any positive impacts on rifle accuracy by removing carbon after each range session?
 
Curious on carbon ring remarks for other guys that shoot 100% suppressed as well.

I also don’t clean unless accuracy deteriorates. Most of my hunting rifles have 500+ rounds without cleaning.
 
I shoot strictly suppressed. I probably average 100-150 rounds between cleanings. Usually because if I’m going to test something or check a zero to practice I want a clean slate. Is it necessary, no, but I also don’t want to be at the range with something I know worked and then question if the cleaning was throwing me off.

I don’t find the carbon ring is hard to get rid of shooting strictly suppressed. Obviously the longer you go the more you may have to work at it. I inspect the crown every time I clean, if it looks absolutely filthy, I’ll clean it. Most of the time the A419 adapter stays on and I can still get the crown clean.
