My buddy has shot over 5,000 through over the past few years, no cleaning, and still no problems. I clean mine after every range trip, but that's just because I'm a bit anal about such things. In all likelyhood you'll probably break before the firearm does.
How Long between Cleanings?
Hello all. I've been a lurker for awhile, though I've had my 995 since Feb 08. I've put at least 200 rounds through it without a single failure to feed or a failure to fire. It shoots great and is an all round fun little rifle.
Now, I know that I really should clean it every time after coming back from the range, but a sadistic part of me has been wanting to see how long I can go without doing so. So far I haven't cleaned it since I received from SOG, call it 200 rounds without ANY cleaning. How long have you guys gone without cleaning, and have you noticed any problems with the carbine's operation?

I clean my weapons after every outing and at least once a month regardless of whether they've been fired out not.
Excessive? Maybe.
Thorough? Damn right.

On both the 995 and 4095 I clean the barrel every 300 to 500 rounds. At about 1,000 I will disassemble and give them a through cleaning.
On a side note. When I received my used 4095 the bolt hold back did not work. I spent over one hour just to clean the barrel and an other hour to clean the rest of the gun. I was thinking that who ever had the gun before me never cleaned it.

only really, thoroughly clean it whenever the firing pin bends which has been twice in 8000 rnds.
I give it a good cleaning after every outing.
I have yet to take it apart & give it a thorough cleaning but I have only run about 400 rnds through it.

just a bore snake, I have yet to take mine completely apart except once when I put bushman's trigger in.
After every outing. I take off the top receiver, give it a good does of break free, a good workover, then re-lubricate and reassemble being careful not to over-torque the bolts.
Can't tell that I drive an Italian bike can you?

The difference is--you HAVE to do that with an Italian bike!After every outing. I take off the top receiver, give it a good does of break free, a good workover, then re-lubricate and reassemble being careful not to over-torque the bolts.
