After reading the necrothread about proper lube of an AR I started thinking about the utter neglect of rifles. I recall reading the article about the "filthy #14" that had 30,000+ rounds through it with only one cleaning. It goes against my nature to let a rifle go that long without cleaning but I have neglected a few in my days.
In shooting classes I have fired 600+ rounds a day without issue but I always clean my rifle at the end of the day. I once had a RRA carbine that I neglected for close to 1000 rounds and of course an AK that I never bothered to clean... ever. I have a shooting buddy that claims to only clean his HK 33 and MP5 once a year.
What guns have you seen first hand continue working despite a lack of cleaning or minimal upkeep?
