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?
 
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.
