Dirty lugers

[jeb111]

I like cleaning my firearms, I clean them more than I shoot them. So I’m not complaining. I do agree with Norm, I don’t care for the highlighted markings either, I guess I understand a dealer using them to show markings for potential buyers to see easier when posted online but in person I carry a gun light, magnifying glass and reading glasses to see everything.
Like Ed, I usually don’t tear down my guns completely just the basic field strip. My question is though can you really over clean a gun? If you use the wrong solvents and disassemble the gun like a “bull in a China shop” things can get damaged but when cleaning a barrel properly there always seems to be some dirt on the cleaning patch but Ed you probably know something I don’t.
