Wait a minute, are we really supposed to clean our firearms?
I take it you are being sarcastic.
Unfortunately, I have intentionally only acquired 3 new to me project firearms, rescued 6 others from suffering the same fate as the previous 3, and didn't make an offer to acquire the last remaining 4 firearms from my previous client whose deceased husband didn’t/ wouldn’t properly clean or maintain his firearms after use.
These are not the only firearms of neglect I have come across and unfortunately I am sure I will see many, many, more once very nice firearms fall prey to extreme rust, barrel pitting, nicks, dents, carbon build up, etc.. I'm talking about young firearms less than 30, 20, 10, 5 years old looking like 100 years old guns of the American western frontier, or for that matter, of the various British, French, Dutch, etc. colonial frontiers.
