Yes, I do clean the bores of my chrome-lined ARs. Like T2C said in one of his responses, the frequency that I clean them depends on the number of rounds fired. The higher the round count, the more frequent the cleaning. Nothing fancy, just a Dewey rod, CLP, and a tight patch. I usually just wipe down the BCG during each cleaning and only disassemble and clean the bolt/cam pin/firing pin/extractor when "grungy".
None of my guns get cleaned after every single trip to the range. Some of my low round count carbines only get cleaned annually. Others, like one that I put 1200 rounds through during a three day course, get cleaned more often. I generally aim for 500-1000 rounds before cleaning (pun intended).
ASH556, thanks for mentioning the brass attachments! I should have mentioned that in my earlier post.
Abraham, good luck with the bore guide. Let us know how it works to you.
