Obsessive cleaner or mot so much?
I can still hear SSGT Barotti screaming "Get that weapon gleaming private or you will be doing the manual of arms with your footlocker!"
 So cleaning my AR can get a little obsessive. How clean is clean enough for you? Zero carbon anywhere or get the big chunks off, run a patch or two through, lube lightly and call it good. The (non-piston) AR is sometimes described as puking into its own bolt housing and fire control group. Do you make it "gleam" or wipe it off and put it up OR something in between? I know pistols like Glocks and XDs can run a long time dirty but what about the infamous Black Rifles so many of us defiantly keep?

my 1911's I keep Parris Island clean. My bolt rifles I keep Camp Lejeune acceptable/functional clean.
The AR I douche with Ballistol and pull a snake through it, kinda like an Olongopo bar girl

I guess I'm pretty obsessive with the cleaning of all my guns. Anytime they get shot they get thoroughly cleaned, I try to keep them spotless.

I don't go out for the day to do stuff and not come home and get cleaned up. My wife wouldn't let me into bed without being clean. Why would I think that my 1911's wouldn't feel the same way? So, my firearms are USAF clean after every use. (meaning, they look like they've never been fired!)

I'm not that obsessive. Used to be, not anymore.

Just spray 'em down with EZ Off oven cleaner, throw 'em in the microwave on High for 60 seconds. Presto.
