I spent a fair amount of time around race tracks and machine shops growing up and all the best teams and best machinists had their stuff immaculate. Nothing out of place and everything cleaned after every use. I guess that just stuck with me, so I clean my tools after every use. I even find it relaxing, part of the ritual of shooting.

I clean them around 500 rounds, if that’s one trip or three. I haven’t shot surplus or corrosive ammo in a long long time.
I have 2 Krieger barrels and a Proof research sendero barrel that get cleaned every outing along with the Defiance and Bat actions they are "hooked" too. Rifles/carbines probably every 250-500 rds or two or three trips out. Pistols probably 1k, unless it is new and I just like fondling it. Cleaning is a good excuse.
Hey, has anyone or does anyone use Kroil as a barrel pre soak? I did it on a 9mm carbine barrel that had a squibb that left some lead and copper skid marks. I put a silicone plug (like the type used for cerakote) in one end and topped it off with kroil for a day, came back it cleaned in like 6 passes with a brush.
