If it's an heirloom ==> every time you shoot it.

If it's a tool, and you use it daily, at least once every couple boxes of shells. If you don't shoot quite that much, try to treat it like an oil change. 3months or 3 boxes of shells while in use.

With semi-automatic shotguns it is easy to tell when they need a cleaning beyond the regimen. They start to have trouble moving the shells around. The gas tube that moves the action get's gummed up, pressure goes down, and shells don't eject right. Take the gun apart and shine the parts, keep the oil down, but do use a touch.

DO KNOW, in one afternoon of trap, you can send well over 500 rounds through a chamber before you have real trouble. I wouldn't take it back to the club without cleaning it though.

The dirtier the barrel, the bigger the kick.....
