Many shooters, out of ignorance, over clean their firearms.
Agreed.
I used to be done of those guys, but changed my ways several years ago. I would spend hours cleaning all of my guns with Hoppes #9 and Shooters Choice copper solvent. I found BTE and I just run a couple of soaked patches down the bore and lets it do it's magic for about an hour. Dry patch the bore and I'm done.
