by | Jul 18, 2025 | Business

Proper firearm maintenance is crucial for safety and performance. Regular cleaning ensures your weapon functions reliably when it matters most.

Steps to Clean Your Firearm:

1. Unload and Inspect: Always ensure your firearm is completely unloaded before cleaning.

2. Disassemble Safely: Follow the manufacturer’s guide for field-stripping your firearm.

3. Clean the Barrel: Use a bore brush and solvent to clean the inside of the barrel.

4. Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply gun oil sparingly to key components to reduce friction.

5. Wipe Down Exterior: Prevent corrosion by wiping down the frame and slide.

Clean your firearm after every range session or monthly if it’s stored for home defense. Safe storage after cleaning is just as important.
