I'm a Marine. I clean my weapons after use. If I don't, Ssgt Rasponi will track me down and pull my lungs through my nose

I've never been in the military but I also clean any of my guns after I've used them. I don't care if it's a .22LR pistol or rifle, my AR, 1911's or shotguns. If I've put five rounds or five hundred through them, they will be cleaned.

To each their own, but, I clean my weapons after each use, they're never put away dirty, ...... just the way I was taught / raised.

Range guns stay dirty and packed away till the next range visit or until they puke. Carry guns are always cleaned and lubed before they get duty.
Used to be anal about cleaning, that ended 20+ years ago.

The carry guns are cleaned every time they're shot. That said, my cleaning standards have slipped somewhat from what they were for many years. The guns don't have to be "white glove" (actually cleaning patch) clean any more. Where I used to spend over an hour per gun, I now spend 10-15 minutes, including disassembly/reassembly.

 It doesn't hurt them to stay dirty for some time. If it's not a carry gun, I don't get too worked up about cleaning them. Range and training guns can go quite some time dirty, then there's the notion of learning each guns puke point. It's nice to know how long the gun can run without being douched and fussed over.

in answer to the original post.... no, I've never used yellow scotchbrite on my chambers. And in answer to what I do with my chambers.... I use nylon brushes whenever possible and a product called Gunzilla for my CLP. Oh, and I clean after every shoot, so build up of crud isn't a real issue.
