Now my other question is do you guys clean your ACRs right away after shooting it?

My cleaning regement for ACR:
After each range session, which is no less than 100 rounds, I break down the rifle, wipe down everything and relube rail guides on BCG. I break down the gas / piston on pay lots of attention to regulator and front of piston. I run a bore snake thru the barrel.
I just broke 1K rounds and did a detailed cleaning of the rifle, scraping piston and regulator of all carbon. Did a standard bore and chamber cleaning with brushes and patches until squeeky clean. Broke down BCG to detail clean and inspect all parts. (was clean before I started

) Detailed cleaned inside front of upper reciever where it covers the gas block. (lots of carbon found in that area.) Check everything for general condition and serviceability.
I think I'm going to keep detailed cleanings at every 1K interval and continue with the 1st paragraph after every range session. Seems to be working for me.
