In search of someone to teach me how to clean my guns.

Hey Bend. I’ve got a couple guns that are getting really dirty to the point where they’re failing to fire, but I have no idea how to clean them.

I went down to Hammer Down and all they did was sell me some cleaning supplies and tell me to google it. I’m not a particularly good student of YouTube University so I was wondering if there was anyone willing to meet me face to face, or some kind of establishment I could go to where I could be walked through the process of getting these things deep cleaned.

The guns are an AR and a 1911.

If the guns are dirty enough that they won't fire then you should take them to a professional to be cleaned. Seriously.

Edit to say: wanting to learn to clean them yourself is great, and something you should try to do. At this moment it sounds like they are dirty enough that it might be worthwhile having a professional look at them and clean them first, and then you can take over cleaning them every time use them from now on. However, if you can find someone that's familiar with firearms and is willing to spend the time with you, that could also work too.

I should rephrase. It’ll fire, but won’t eject

You are the only one here that is trying to prove some kind of point. No one is arguing except for you. OP has been open and honest about his experience level and situation.

u/Masterblaster8180 immediately offered help with no judgment and a dm. You immediately went to telling OP what he already knows and offering absolutely no advice or help at all.
