This man's gun experience is so vast that he shows just how simple cleaning and maintenance really is! Not much he doesn't know! Old school ways still the best in 2021!

Your videos are great! My wife makes fun of me for watching stuff like this lol. She ask me “how do you love guns enough to watch someone else clean one?” I just tell her I’m learning! I’m no gunsmith but I’ve always enjoyed the process of disassembling firearms, cleaning them, and putting it all back together. Thanks again!
Tell her that you are going to clean her nicely.
I would have a quick retort to my Mrs.:
“I don’t know honey, how do YOU love make up enough to watch someone else applying it to their faces?”
It would probably cost me one or two nights with no action, but it would be well worth it.
She's hinting....
@@VincitOmniaVeritas7 well said
The only guy on the interwebs I trust for proper firearms maintenance.
Seriously, I would pay good money for a compiled DVD set of all your videos no problem! Your wealth of knowledge is by far my favorite online. Thanks as usual for another great lesson on the shooting sports.

I second this motion
Agreed, especially if TH-cam bans gun videos. I haven't been seeing any ads lately for gun videos, so I wonder if that will be sooner than later. Would love to get this content!
I respect the knowledge and the time it takes to make these videos but my understanding is the AR platform needs to be wet but this gentleman stated that the chamber needs to be bone dry for the perfect fit between ammo and chamber so I'm a little confused there are too many opinions on how a rifle should be cleaned is my issue with TH-cam
robert pinto he is correct. Unless you only shoot in very controlled indoor situations, you want to lubricate it well, meaning completely, but you wanna make sure and wipe off ALL excess, as this oil will attract and become completely saturated with dirt and grit which can damage your weapon’s perfectly smooth steel surfaces.
your more of a moron that this guy. both of you must be democrats.. have tea with nancy you dumb down fools
you sir are a savior. dont listen to all the wild kids online. listen to this man and his wealth of knowledge. good man.
HE IS A MASTER ARMORER. VERY RARE THESE DAYS.
HE COULD DO A GUN SCHOOL ONLINE. VERY
AUTHORITATIVE.
@@heofthebee i concur.
I agree. Over my nearly 70 years my bs sensitivity is finely tuned. Unlike so many utube gurus I detect zero bs from gunblue. His willingness to share his years of experience is a testament to the man's character.
The absolute best guide to rifle cleaning, thank you for imparting your knowledge in such a easy to follow way.
Thank you so much for continuing to generously share your knowledge. We can imagine that putting these videos together takes a tremendous amount of time and effort. The invaluable education we've received has simply been the foundation of our working gun knowledge. Please let us know your favorite charity. We'd like to make a donation on your behalf and as a way to say thank you. You are appreciated! May God continue to bless you.

So true. Reminds us of the parable Jesus tells in Luke 19:11--27. We are charged with multiplying the talents He's given us for His glory and kingdom. A day will come when we must account for what we've done with the gifts He's bestowed upon us. Will send an email shortly.
Meaningful comments and thanks that we can all share in your sentiments so well expressed to Mr.GunBlue490. He is indeed a treasure to us all...
One of the very few times when I feel that the Internet gives me access to an amazing wealth of knowledge I would otherwise never have found. Thank you, Sir! Excellent presentation!
Wow, I can't believe how you clean your firearm just like my father did. I use to think he was crazy how simple he done it until I got old enough to understand and he explained it to me. But now I see why his guns and his father guns that has been passed down to me are still in excellent condition. As always an amazing video with great knowledge shared. Thanks
I, too, would buy a set of dvds with the compilation of GunBlue videos His wealth of knowledge and clarity of thought and speaking is a treasure to be preserved
Best common sense approach to cleaning a rifle I have ever seen. For years I have told my hunting companions they didn't need to de-copper the bore. Great job on this.
If only my father would have been into guns. I didn't get into it until my 50's and I will be 60 later this year. I sure missed out on a lot of fun and knowledge. I really appreciate learing from you and others like you. So for some reason, I felt compelled to subscribe.
My dad only owned one gun. It was a Japanese Nambu pistol that he captured from a soldier on Guam or Saipan during WWII. He never cared to touch or shoot it. I think combat probably gave him all the shooting he needed in his lifetime. Anyway, I loved guns since I can remember, but I never had a mentor to show me the way. My dad & mom gave me my first gun, a .22 when I was 13 or so. No instruction, no nothing. Just go out to the farm and shoot! Somehow they trusted me. I have bought over 50 guns in my life and have about 20 now. One gun is the most valued though. My dad's Nambu.
I am sorry to hear that. My father was an ffl holder and a gun smith so I was taught about firearms at an early age. It has been a large part of my life and I learn something new all the time. There is nothing like the feeling of a successful hunt wherein you are able to spot the wildlife, stalk it to within range, dispatch it, and then get it back under your own power. I suppose I could call it a truly primal feeling of accomplishment. Even though you started late I think you have plenty of time to enjoy firearms.
It must suck to be you ...only kidding about that welcome to the real world
Your common sense, straightforward explanation in the first 24mins of this video has completely changed my whole outlook on cleaning firearms!! NOW by following your instructions, I will achieve consistent results in the correct cleaning and care of my firearms. THANK YOU!! You earned my sub!! 👍
I have always made cleaning my firearms a huge job. It is great to see someone do it easy and quick, and RIGHT! Thank you.
Very informative, but common sense at the same time. I really appreciate your work in producing these videos.
I am in my 50's but watching this, I felt like I was a kid again, listening to my dear departed Uncle Bob when he would teach me how to clean my gun. We just used Hope's solvent and oiled with some oil he had in an old metal oil bottle. Probably military issue from WW2! Anyway, everyone who has guns should watch this and your gun oil video too.
I live in the woods and don't have many people to talk guns with. Just one of your videos is like having several conversations with multiple people over many months. Thank you for the insight and keep those videos coming. 2 thumbs up.
I recently discovered your TH-cam channel. I must say, this is some of the most useful and informative instruction on TH-cam. I watch all the big popular firearm TH-camrs, but you posess a degree of experience and knowledge that dwarfs the others.
The way you describe things is easy to understand and also highly useful. I also like that your videos are not over-edited and not flashy. They are straight to the point with simple demonstration.
I appreciate your videos very much, please keep making them!!!
Sincerely, a novice firearm enthusiast and hunter.
very well put reminds me of a friendly neighbour i had many years ago when I was young and grass green who gave un biased knowlegable advice. To whom I remain grareful to this day.
You have quickly become my favorite instructional firearm channel online. I love the straight forward no nonsense approach sir. Great to learn from someone who has many years of experience. Thanks again for taking the time to put these videos together and share them with us.
at last a no nonsense, clear and articulate explanation of how simple the cleaning process should be. thank you!!!
You are officially my favorite TH-cam channel! I really appreciate your sense of humor, I think that is something that is missed by most. Your wealth of knowledge and your usage of the word cartridge should translate to a million subscribers! Again, I really appreciate your channel and look forward to viewing all of your videos.
Farmers love trans fluid for metal preservation. I use it to preserve raw sheet metal. Also one of the best gun lubes I have ever used.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. That was the most comprehensive yet easily understood description of how to care for a firearm I have ever encountered. I recommend it to anyone with any level of experience. It will help you understand why you are doing what you are doing not just telling you what to do.
What a great video, answered all my gun cleaning questions, I can now take real good care of my rifles. Thank you!
Just happened upon your channel. Seriously, you have a wealth of information to share and it's much appreciated. Not to talk much about myself, but i recently got into firearms and wanted to learn more about how the parts interact with each other and how you maintain them, and have found your channel a vast and invaluble resource for that. The whole shifting of mindset to just cleaning steel is helpful in of itself.
Also, thank you for your service. My grandpa went career in the airforce during Vietnam, dropping ordinance out of a phantom. He didn't talk much about it when he was still on this earth but I know it was hard on him.
What he did leave behind were some of his beautiful firearms. I believe a part of him is still in those firearms and being able to maintain them for the foreseeable future is special to me, so thank for you that.
Been listening and commenting for a while now. Thanks so much . An older brother, father , and grandfather all in one, but also a friend anyone would admire.
Knowledge passed down through generations, thanks for taking the time to share it.
The section on copper conditioning and copper fouling is worth its wait in Gold 👏
Thank you for all this great information, sir! I'd watched your earlier cleaning video from a couple years back, and seeing this one reminded me of how much there is to learn each time I watch one of your videos. And it's an important reminder that applying proper materials and techniques and some common sense certainly goes a long way. Your videos have become my no. 1 source of firearm information, and I look forward to more.
I do not normally comment but I wish to express my gratitude for your sharing of knowledge.
God bless.
Respect from Australia.
Thank you Sir for sharing your experience and knowledge, its people like yourself that are few and far between these days unfortunately, your giving attitude is much appreciated.
This is one of my favorite videos. I have shared the heck out of this. The kind of non-hyped information that comes from knowing your stuff over years of experience.
This is hands down the best video for all that is really necessary for 99% of shooters out there. Thank you for the quality video on a free platform. I am now subscribed. God bless!
By far the best cleaning video I have ever seen. In addition to learning great common sense cleaning practices, you taught me how to use the many tools used for cleaning a rifle. Thank you!
Been watching your videos over the last week or so....each time I finish one, I feel as if I just left a class room...Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you Blue, I'm 70 yrs old now and listening to you reminds me of my father with all of his wise advise. And by the way,,,, listen up all you of you younger folks, this is one smart fella with years of experience and little time for nonsense. He is giving it to you straight.
This guy knows everything you need to know. Thank you and respect to you Sir.
Thank you very much for this SUPERB gun cleaning video! Simply THE BEST. As another person mentioned, everybody needs a Grandfather like you. You possess so much knowledge...and I appreciate your sharing it. I don't do ANYTHING with my guns until I've checked your many videos.
Thank you so much for your patient and detailed instructions. Watching your videos truly helps me feel more comfortable cleaning and caring for my firearms. God bless!
only just come across your vids and all i can say is what a breath of fresh air in the huge selection of gun vids on you tube.Your down to earth approach with no b/s is a refreshing change and I can now say that I will be able to remove a vast amount of other contribitors from my saved vids that I seem to have collected many with dubious advice,and you have become my first pot of call when i am in trouble and need reliable advice from U.K.
Hello - thank you very much for clearing up so many myths! Everyday I watch these I am back in the classroom and truly with a master. So few people toady know the story behind the story. Long overdue - clearing the myths is the biggest gift you can give us shooters.
Have to watch this about once a year - so much here. Thank you ! Thank you for sharing, and "God bless."
You are so wise! Thank you so much for your videos. Started cleaning guns for people just as a fun side business because it relaxes me. These videos have guided me more than anything else has.
Thank you for your dedication and informative comments. You, Sir, are a living encyclopedia!
BEST cleaning video I've seen. So glad I discovered you... Thank you for generously, thoroughly and effectively sharing so much great information. Fascinating video!
By far the best video I have ever seen on cleaning a firearm. Thank you so much. Been cleaning for years and learned more from this than I have ever known!
WOW! Thank You.... my eye's have been opened! Keep up the good job!
I also would like to thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge. You sir are a natural teacher. I've learned so much from your videos. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for the work you put into your video. I have been working with firearms my entire life and really feel like I’ve genuinely learned a ton from this video. My sincerest thank you
Thank you. You told me stuff I never would have known, and actually are against my friends supposed "knowledge" but after witnessing some of their practices, well, was not sure I completely trusted them. Great video.
As always, informative and enlightening. Keep up the good work.
I agree with Gunblue’s cleaning philosophy. I’m a hunter not a bench rest shooter. I’ve found cleaning a bore down to the bare steel requires multiple fouling rounds (15-20) to get the rifle shooting tight groups. I now run a couple patches with Hoppe’s, bronze brush a few passes, a few more Hoppe’s soaked patches and dry patch out. This will not clean the bore down to the bare steel but it will greatly reduce the number of fouling shots (3-4) required. I do not aggressively go after copper unless the rifle’s groups start opening up. This rarely happens because I don’t allow the bore to get into such a fouled state. Regular, light bore cleaning prevents copper to build up to the point it affects accuracy.
During hunting season, I leave the bore fouled. I will run a bore snake if I’ve been in the rain or if possibly anything has gotten in bore. Otherwise I don’t want to disturb the state of the bore if it’s shooting well.
Good luck.
The steps you go through are so helpful. The ongoing conversation contains so much important details. There should be entirely more likes.
Listen to this man! He knows by EXPERIENCE what you need to do. I worked in metallurgy for 33+ years an I agree with everything he says. I too like Hoppe’s solvent just because of the smell. It’s a perfume to me. GREAT video sir!!!!!
Hello! You have taught many of us the right way to clean our weapons. Thank you for your knowledge and willing to share the same with all of us. Your a credit to this country🇺🇸 your ability to explain in easy to understand terms makes us all feel we are there with you! Thank you😊
The best videos of all the internet, thanks so much !
Thank you for your time. Well done!
I'm very fortunate to have stumbled upon your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love to do things as correctly as possible and have great confidence in everything that I have learned from you this far.
i could watch you for days. a great presenter with humour and no bullshit. good work mate
cheers
Knowledge, class and no BS. Great channel! Congrats Sir.
In the age of the internet where everyone has a different opinion, method, 'right way to do it,' etc. on everything, I will always defer to the unassuming, straightforward guy who has likely seen it all but doesn't need to advertise it. Thank you; this video is incredibly helpful!
Another great video. Nobody expounds the amount of knowledge you do in your videos. . You must have had an interesting life. Much appreciated.
Finally found a video with the information I've been looking for. Thanks so much for the in depth explanations.
Thank you very much for your work and time invested in the production of your videos, they are very instructive and the sharing of knowledge is appreciated.
Thanks a lot for the video. This is very much the way i was taught as a child to clean a rifle and much later with all the new gimmicks its great to see that its still the proper way.
Another great instructional video, thanks!
Best explanation of how to and why not I’ve ever enjoyed😊thanks for giving us the most down to earth heart felt presentation. 🇺🇸
Fantastic video, thanks for taking the time to make it.
If I had a penny for every nugget of knowledge you so generously share! I have said this before, but you, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you!
Great video. I'm guilty of over cleaning and way over oiling. Probably Marine Corps habit. Thanks.
Same here. "CLEAN"..."SIR, CLEAN HARDER SIR"
Same here - Air Force and then Army
Went in the Marines 1966, and it was no different then. And I still roll the same way.
1990's Canadian army here. Same old. Clean clean clean!!! Drilled in to us so hard it's a compulsion. I'm easing up on the oil before storage now to what the factory says.
@@rw7594 it’s a hard habit to break! I’m doing my best to ease up on the lube
Fantastic! Great explanation during the introduction that provides a rudimentary understanding of the "what it is" and thus the "why" of the methods. I have to smile when I read hundreds of blogs and view as many videos containing just as many opinions on the "right" way, the "right" products, all of them promoting their way as the best and truly only way to get the job done. Mostly pure bologna to any thinking person. Your presentations are always well planned where the first step provides understanding for the second etc. You have a talent to be sure. Thanks as always.
Now that is alot of info and I enjoyed every minute of your instruction and teachings...
Just another newer gun owner to say thanks. As a former armorer in the US Army this type of logical speak is very much appreciated. I say this as someone who has his entire experience with military firearms but years down the road is just now getting into firearms as a civilian. New owner of my first hunting rifle (Tikka T3 lite in 308) and you're videos have done me so much good cutting through all the noise out there regarding conditioning/cleaning/sighting/etc. Hat is off to you sir. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together and sharing your knowledge.
Thank you. And most importantly, I thank you for your service to our great country and the US Army.
I love your videos and I learn so much. I wish growing up I had someone like you in my life. God Bless!
Best video ever Sir. Thank you for real straight forward knowledge!
Great video! Thank you for putting these up here.
Great video , thank you!
Thanks again. I always feel wiser after I watch one of your videos
Thank you for this video, sir!
Thank you for all the knowledge you share with us. This is absolutely golden information . Recommending anyone I know to your videos.
Just outstanding - so much detail and instruction.
You sir are still awsome here in 2019
great instruction. great job explaining the cleaning prosess. thank you
Love your perspective. Shrewd and honest. 👌🏻
00:14 -- Made my entire day in one second flat. Funny yet serious. I direct new shooters/gun owners here for a cleaning lesson. I sincerely hope that I'm as succinct and educational as this gentleman when I get a ways older.
Thank you Sir! Finally a great how to video! The amount of people that told me I need to get the copper out the barrel with copper solvents is scary high.
Very thorough explanation of gun cleaning . Thank you!!
I love wisdom! You have clearly made a study of this. Thank you for sharing your long held interest with us. You are also an excellent communicator. All the best.
@52:00 you mentioned the brass bore brush with the steel wire core that was doubled-back to make a non-marring nose. I discovered Tipton makes a bore brush with a brass wire core, eliminating the possibility of marring the bore. But, I did round-off the front end on mine on the bench grinder just to be safe. Great video! I learned a lot.
Dude, you're extremely comprehensive in your instruction. I like you because I believe I'm somewhat like yourself Good Sir. Thank You very much..
Semper Fidelity.
this is the best instruction for care for your fire arms
I would like to offer an alternative theory about why higher end rods use male threads. A female thread in my experience tends to bell out allowing the attachment to loosen easier (exacerbating the belling) and increasing chances the rod contacting the bore.
Excellent instructional video.
Man I love this guy
Best gun cleaning video ever!
Very good info. No nonsense knowledge. Nice that you use affordable products for cleaning and oiling. I always appreciate learning from someone with the years of knowledge you old timers have. Thanks for sharing.
You are legendary. Thank you for your time.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and for dispelling a lot of the myths and hype in the gun industry. Looking forward to watching all your videos and learning to do things and do them right is what its all about. Highest Regards.
Excellent video... thank you for sharing your encyclopedia of knowledge with us....
There is a log of good information here. A lot of this I already knew, but I learned from this video.
Thanks! Added a couple skills/tools to my workdesk.
