    I give a new rifle a good clean before first use then that's about it, unless it's been a wet trip or it's loosing accuracy.
    Shooting extreme long range is a great way to learn that a clean barrel isn't always a good thing.
    I have been guilty of over cleaning in the past, most will be doing more harm than good with cleaning after every use.

    So do you do anything to remove carbon or just run a oil rag and that's it.
