I hate cleaning machine guns!

Weekend shoot with lots of trigger time. H&Ks suck the worst especially when running them suppressed. If only I had the room for a parts cleaning station like for auto parts.

I will clean them all for you if you let me shoot them

I almost had a spring from an M60 knock my front teeth out taking it apart
They are a PIA

Aint no-one out there going to clean them the way I want them cleaned that don't own them. Any more rounds thru them & I would be having stoppages.

Belt feds just require so much more everything. Funny my buddy picks up links but never brass for his.

sort of a humblebrag, no? :doh:

FWIW, I've never found any of the HK line to be difficult to clean, but then I sorta enjoy cleaning firearms.

Roller locked H&K's are a dirty operating system.

I too hate washing my Ferrari after taking it for a weekend drive.

yeah, but not too terribly difficult to clean. Again, I like cleaning guns.

Ultrasonic cleans mine in 15 minutes.

I find that cleaning mine is quite therapeutic.........

I just have the rule "you shoot it, you clean it". Hence the reason I let my friends shoot mine.

My friends that I shoot with are busy cleaning their own guns. Besides I wouldn't count on many peeps to clean them as clean as I want them.

This is what I'm talking about! Like I said the old school mechanics parts cleaning station might even do it. What Ultrasonic do you use?

So you can afford machine guns and you can afford to keep them fed but you can't afford to build a proper man cave with room for a parts washer?

The proper man cave happens to be overwhelmed with ammo cans & crates, 2 gun safes, 2 reloading benches. If I sold all my ammo I could buy another machine gun.

I don't like cleaning any type of gun at all but I do it.
