I'm nearly convinced that I shouldn't post among such an obsessively clean crowd, but someone with dirty guns needs to bare their soul.
Once a season, I clean my rifles that need some fouling to shoot straight ... they get a good work-out from September til early January. I can already hear the wincing in this crowd.
Shot of Hoppes, please. In a dirty glass with a chipped rim.
I clean the safe queens with greater regularity, but I admonish my buddies (one in particular) about cleaning too often and scoring up crowns and burnishing chambers.
No ... I don't have some tale from a famous barrel-maker, but I do know that well-made guns from the major manufacturers will last five generations with a wee bit of care.
When I do clean, I do it with great zeal. I swab with a powder solvent, then brush with a copper cleaner and wait before sending countless patches to look for blue. And sometimes I use JB bore paste if I feel tightness or if the patches start to catch on something. And finally, I damp patch with just a splash of Kroil and for the safe queens, a little CLP before storage. Whew ... and that's why I don't clean 'em more often. BTW, the sporting guns seem to love a bit of grim (not rust, mind you) and groups actually shrink with more ammo sent down range.
And the queens ... well they're queens; they just hanker for a little attention now and again. Bow, curtsy, damp patch and kiss on the cheekpiece.
Now, I feel cleansed after sharing; nearly as clean as my go-to .30-30.

My carry gun needs to be cleaned regularly regardless of if it has been fired. It picks up a lot of lint and dust being concealed, so I take it apart and clean/lube often. If my deer rifle goes click instead of bang that's one thing, but if my personal defense weapon goes click or jams up, that is a whole different story.

Almost every time I shoot them. There are some guns that I feel will be ok if I let them stay dirty for a few days, and there are some that I rush home, immediately to the operating table every time.

After every use!
The safe queens..at least once a year......more if I need some therapy or have a lust for the scent of Hoppes!

As soon as i get home.
if i go shoot clays, i may put 100+ through it that day, but always gets cleaned when i get home

I clean (using bore cleaner, compressed air for action, some light lubricant for insides, etc) when I know I will store for over 2 months before the next shooting session. I wipe down after each use with balisstol impregnated cloth since it helps take finger acid, handling dirt, etc. of bluing/stainless and does not harm wood. I run a bore snake dry, through after every ten or so shots and store muzzles down on a carpeted foor in my safes, with either a snap cap in chamber or deactuated firing pin position. Seems to work ok after 40 years of collecting and shooting.

i clean mine after each shooting to easier to keep the lead and copper out just makes it nice to know its really clean

HH must have a stutter as his handicap. What cruek\l person used the phonetic challenge word Lisp to describe that issue.

Well, if its not during any major season ill shoot and clean the same day, im talkin pretty much dissasembling the entire gun. However, if its in season ill sight in and not touch the bore untill the season is over unless i put it through a rain or snow storm. most of the time though when i hunt ill wipe down any exposed metal with some Rem Oil

I clean my guns every time i shoot them and sometimes when im mad at other things, good way to concentrate on something else.

I clean every gun I own after each time of use, unless I only shoot a few times.

I clean the shotguns once a season - exceptions for serious rain / snow. The big rifles get cleaned after the pre-hunt range and then again at the end of the season. The handguns get cleaned after every shooting trip. The plinkers rarely get cleaned. The varmint rifles (.17 HMR, .22 mag, and .223) get cleaned after every trip.

When I go shooting with my son, we clean all the guns we shot within a day or two. It's a another good chance to practice safe handling of guns and teach him how the different guns work.

regularly, during deer season i only use dry patch, after the season i will break down and clean good.

After every hunt rifles get cleaned with Hoppe's No 9 Benchrest for corrosion protection. Barnes CR-10 after a shooting session at the range. Shotguns get wiped and oiled after daily use. Deep cleaned about every 2 weeks unless they get soaking wet, which is almost every weekend during duck and goose season. Break Free for the shotguns. Rem Oil for the rifles.

After everytime I get done shooting I will usually clean out the action and polish up the metal pieces that I touch to avoid rusting. During hunting season I try to avoid cleaning with any oils or chemicals due to the smells that will stick on my rifle. However, if I am hunting in foul weather, I always will polish up my gun when done hunting for the day to avoid rusting. Take care of your rifle and your rifle will take care of you...

After every use, and when I just feel like doing it. I love working with my guns and making sure there in good shape and work properly.

I clean my rifles/handguns every time they're used, especially the .223 that get used quite a bit. I use Hoppes to get the powder and other gunk out, then use Kroil and leave it set for an hr. or so, then brush it and dry swab it out. I give each bore a light coat of Kroil before going into the safe.
I guess in some ways I'm like Carney, I find it therapeutic to clean the firearms, just to think of times in the field, or whatever. On another web-site, I saw a guy that has some VERY nice looking rifles, I inquired as to what he uses to make them this way. Renissance Wax! I contacted the company that makes the wax, bought some, and have spent some long hours attempting to make mine like this other gentleman's. Yes, I can hear the groans now! LOL Seriously, this stuff makes those rifle in the cupboard look better than brand new. I noticed on an older rifle, Savage '99 .300, the bluing on the barrel looked kinda flat, took some Flitz and cleaned the rust {not flaky rust} off, then when I applied the RW, that old barrel shined like a diamond in a goat's butt. I spent probably 5 hrs. applying the RW to the stock, and other metal on the .300, and rubbing and rubbing the finish. A week later, my younger brother saw this old rifle, our Pop's rifle since 1947, he wouldn't believe it was the same gun! I've spent some long hours in the "powder locker" shining up the arms I own, another classic I own is another Savage '99 in .250/3000, that ol' gal really shines now! I know some will think I don't have any time but for cleaning and shining, but when I do take these guns out, no matter the weather, and not to worry if it snows or rains on them.

Every 40-60 rounds or so in my centerfire rifles. In my shotguns I just run a Boresnake through after each shooting session.

I clean my barrels each time I shoot, but I rarely use any solvent other than Rem Oil or CLP and most of the time I just use a boresnake for my shotguns. I clean and oil the steel parts whenever they get wet. I clean actions when I am bored.

Every time I shoot.

Use WeaponCLP www.CenterfireCS.com

P.S Get a bore snake. There Easy.

during season not as much but normally i clean after every shooting i am poor and cannot afford to replace my guns plus i kinda like them and by kinda like i mean love them

Muzzleloaders get cleaned asap after shooting.
Centerfire rifles after shooting or at the end of the season after pre-season sight in. (unless hunting in rain or snow then I disassemble and wipe down but only run a dry bore snake down the barrel.)
.22 once or twice a year or if starts shooting wild.
.17hmr after shooting
Shotguns after shooting get the dry bore snake plus one good cleaning/yr to get out plastic fouling.
I don't clean for copper unless the gun starts shooting poorly, I use Barnes for most of my centerfires and they can be sensitive to excess copper fouling.
