Well one of the best things for me anyway of buying a used gun is the opportunity to thoroughly clean it. In some instances I believe it may have been the first disassemble and clean performed in years if not decades:bang_wall:. The problem is that I get a strange sense of joy in seeing all the grime, powder residue and grit build up in the tub of Hoppe's and the little flecks that I find that scrub away with an old toothbrush or a toothpick
. After owning, cleaning, shooting and cleaning again I find that the level of gunk build up is gone and the sense of accomplishment is not there after a cleaning. I already have more than enough guns and I hate to let one go even though I have on occasion done so. Maybe I should quit my job and start a gun cleaning business. I would starve for sure as I spend hours cleaning and would never earn enough to feed the kids let alone pay for their college education.
