Threads pretty much done but Im slipping in my thoughts in anyway.
I clean mine after every use, regardless of round count. A couple of passes with a boresnake and run a patch through after to make sure it's clean. I tend to put more attention on the BCG, in particular the rear of the bolt and the inside of the carrier where carbon tends to crust.
Question on solvents : I take it theyre ok on the bore on occasion? I hear some may damage the chrome. Whether this is true or not I have no idea. JUst something I read somewhere.
I guess you track your cold bore shots then, right? And do you know exactly how the rifle will shoot until the bore is fouled enough that it is consistent?
Crowns and throats have been damaged many, many times by overcleaning. Pat Rogers says that he has found that overcleaning is worse on rifles than just shooting them.
I never cleaned the inside of the BCG or the rear of the bolt. somebody once told me it was self cleaning... you don't need to scrap the carbon as it will blow itself away once it gets too thick. how true?

Carbon on the bolt tail will not effect the function of the rifle. That would be the absolute last thing that I cleaned. I would concentrate on cleaning that will effect functioning, i.e. barrel extension, bolt and inside of carrier. If you use wolf it would be good to clean the chamber too.
