Cleaning your firearms
Weapon maintenance is the regular care, cleaning, and repair needed to keep firearms or other weapons functioning properly and safely.
This includes tasks like cleaning barrels, lubricating moving parts, inspecting for wear or damage, and replacing components as needed.
Military personnel, law enforcement officers, and civilian gun owners all perform weapon maintenance to ensure reliability and extend the life of their equipment.
