Even if you don\u2019t fire your guns, dust and lint can accumulate \u2014 especially if you concealed carry. Additionally, depending on your environment and whether you carry, your firearm will be exposed to a certain amount of moisture and sweat, which can cause rust. Most modern guns feature a good protective coating to prevent this, but they are not infallible.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2 ai-viewport-2 ai-viewport-3\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<!--Mid Article Ad for Mobile and Tablet--><br \/>\n<a target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/contest.html?cid=contest?utm_source=CTD_Blog_AD&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=blog_range_day_friday_mobile&amp;utm_content=square\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/rdf_aug23_ad_mob.jpg?w=640&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" class=\" jetpack-lazy-image\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/rdf_aug23_ad_mob.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Small parts, such as the magazine release and thumb safety, are often finished differently and may rust easier.

Lubrication is essential, but over lubrication and what amounts to an oil bath could cause a malfunction.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>2. Over Lubricating\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Some would call it over cleaning. In reality, it\u2019s over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/gun-care\/gun-lubrication\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=oops-top-7-gun-cleaning-mistakes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lubrication<\/a>. Oiling your firearm helps to prevent excessive wear and friction between moving parts. It also can prevent rust on any metal surfaces. Some oil or grease is good, but too much oil can draw in and trap dirt and lint. This will cause it to gum up, which can induce malfunctions and unnecessary parts wear and breakage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Oiling in the wrong spots is another way to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/malfunctions-feed-extract-eject-how-to-handle-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cause a malfunction<\/a>. Some people think the more oil or grease the better, but this simply isn\u2019t true. It\u2019s often quite the opposite. You may even be better off running your gun bone dry than dealing with the effects of over lubrication.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>3. Incorrect Disassembly\/Reassembly<\/h2>\n<p>Some guns are more difficult than others. Generally, it takes some minor disassembly to fieldstrip your firearm for cleaning and maintenance. Further parts removal may be required for a more detailed cleaning or parts replacement.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re new to the firearms world or simply taking a new firearm apart, you may make a few accidental mistakes. Even experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/gun-care\/gunsmithing\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=oops-top-7-gun-cleaning-mistakes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gunsmiths<\/a> can make a mistake \u2014 it happens. Most often, if you make an error when disassembling or reassembling your firearm, the parts won\u2019t fit together or come apart correctly, and you\u2019ll notice resistance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" alt=\"Cropped view of a man cleaning his gun\" class=\"wp-image-81459 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Cleaning-Schedules-6.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Cleaning-Schedules-6.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Cleaning-Schedules-6.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Cleaning-Schedules-6.jpg?resize=640%2C360&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Cleaning-Schedules-6.jpg?resize=640%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Cropped view of a man cleaning his gun\" class=\"wp-image-81459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Cleaning-Schedules-6.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Cleaning-Schedules-6.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Cleaning-Schedules-6.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>Your firearm\u2019s manual or a short online video will walk you through the disassembly and reassembly  of your firearms as well as the cleaning procedure and lubrication points.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Typically, you don\u2019t want to force parts together, that\u2019s a key indicator something is wrong. Pause, take a moment to think, and maybe take some time to review the owner\u2019s manual or check online. Sometimes you may even get the gun back together only to notice it does not operate as it should. This is why the function check afterward is important.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>4. Missing Details\/Internals<\/h2>\n<p>You clean the gun but miss some key areas or details. The most frequent example that comes to mind is the outer star on an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/firearms\/tactical\/ar-15-rifles\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=oops-top-7-gun-cleaning-mistakes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AR-15<\/a> chamber. This requires two specific brush sizes for proper cleaning of the bore and chamber areas.<\/p>\n<p>This can also be the case on the 1911 and other older, hammer-fired designs that have more small parts than modern striker-fired pistols. Whether it\u2019s out of fear of screwing something up or because they can be hard to reach, these areas are sometimes overlooked. However, it\u2019s a good idea to get in there from time to time and keep everything working properly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>5. Rushing<\/h2>\n<p>In conjunction with mistakes three and four, rushing through the cleaning process is a big mistake because it leads to other problems. Rushing the cleaning process often makes minor mistakes turn into major problems.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve all done a quick wipe down before or after a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/range-gear\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=oops-top-7-gun-cleaning-mistakes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">range trip<\/a>. That\u2019s not what I\u2019m talking about. I\u2019m referring to attempting to speed through the process of a thorough cleaning or parts replacement. When we rush, we are not at the top of our game, which can lead to gouged bores, dropped (and lost) parts, bent springs, and more. Suffice to say, take your time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>6. Incorrect Solvents\/Products<\/h2>\n<p>Most times we can get by with using some generic products to clean and maintain our guns. Even household items such as mineral oil and dish soap can be used if you\u2019re so inclined. However, specialized products should be used with care, as they are not intended for all firearms, materials, and finishes. Using the wrong products can not only cause malfunctions in some cases, it can cause some serious damage to your firearm\u2019s components and finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Using the wrong <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/gun-care\/solvents\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=oops-top-7-gun-cleaning-mistakes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">solvents<\/a> specifically, may damage polymers or other materials over time.

Like your guns, your magazines get dirty at the range and on the hip. Even if your gun is spotless, forgetting the magazines can induce a number of malfunctions.<\/p>\n<p>If possible, remove the baseplate and spring from your magazine and clean it inside and out. Be sure to wipe it off and dry it completely before reassembling. Do not use any in your magazines, it will just draw in dirt and cause problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, hopefully you don\u2019t make any of these gun cleaning mistakes, but if you do, seek a competent gunsmith. Keep your firearms in good shape, and they\u2019ll take good care of you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Have you made any of these classic gun cleaning mistakes? Can you think of any others?
