My process is simple. When the gun is really nasty and I have some downtime, I'll clean it. That entails a quick wipe down with a paper towel, swipe the bore with a boresnake, patch & rod or whatever is handy, clean the chamber, wipe out the receiver, relube & carry on. Very similar to FL, right? Except it's simpler. No fudging with a hair dryer or heat gun & no concerns over whether I did it right. Plus, if I don't feel like cleaning it or don't have time, can give it a few drops of lube and keep on trucking. The benefit is that I can continually add lube, whether it's Fireclean or something else and the gun keeps running, without concerns of over doing it and without having to clean the gun out of fear that I'll hit some unknown failure point. Bottom line is, I don't want to think that hard about lubricant. I want to apply & shoot.
