Thread: The downside of shooting, and an idea

If you are like me, you won't be happy with how any one else cleans the guns. So I would have to say bad idea, however maybe pay her the $8 an hour to hang out and talk to you while you clean them....

I think it’s a fine idea, I’ve been cleaning guns for my family & friends (sometimes paid) for years, and I have to say I find it enjoyable. I’m a bit anal too about how they are cleaned and handled so I tend to take my time cleaning.

Unless she's a shooter herself, I'd say that's a little iffy. The last thing you need is a scratched barrel or gunk in the action. Get a boresnake and some spray- 6 handguns will take you less than 15 minutes

I am a bit anal about it. I have a couple of snakes and use them for light cleaning or in the past if I was shooting A LOT I would periodically run one through. but on the wheel guns it takes a lot to get them really clean. I was out of gun scrubber which i like. I always at least open the hoppes and decant it but much prefer blue wonder for actually getting things clean.

I like the idea of at least paying her to hang out, I'll just put her in charge of rubbing them down with Sheath afterwards. slowly...

In that case, watch yourself for possible sexual harassment issues. This is nothing against your character, especially since I don't know you, it just pays in this touchy feely world to be on your guard. As a guy, we're guilty until proven innocent when it comes to that kind of crap Stupid HR degree...it's always getting in the way

quit wasting your time scrubbing and scraping and buy yourself and ultrasonic cleaner.

best money i ever spent, i just take the gun apart, dump it in the cleaner with some hoppes9 (or benchrest, if i've been using copper bullets) and let it run for 5 minutes. then wipe it dry and i'm done.

I don't think I could trust anyone else to clean my guns. In addition, I still enjoy cleaning them myself. There is something nostalgic about it, especially when breaking down and cleaning older guns, such as my father's M1 Garand.
