EXTREME GUN OWNER
I have seen ads from back in the day where a case of x39 was under $80
I have a friend that has owned more ak's than i can count. he shot nothing but steel cased (much of it lacquer coated) and never ever cleaned any of his ak's. tens of thousands of rounds, never a cleaning. ran flawlessly
That's amazing, but I clean my guns every time I shoot them or at least run some oiled patches and a bore snake through them.
Guess that's too much for most of the ones that use non-corrosive ammo, but the 10/22 can get really dirty and start jamming after only about 500 rounds.
