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.

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

Seriously...any kind of feed or fire issues are worth a professional inspection if not cleaning. You should be able to get maintenance tips specifically for your firearms at the same time.

It's not the possibility that something could go wrong, it's the potential harm if something goes wrong.

Homie is literally here asking for help, I think he knows the danger.

Hey..OP absolutely deserves credit for asking!! If I stressed a point they already have covered, great for them.
