How often should you clean out copper in an AR bore? What products do you like to use?

It isn't necessary. Contrary to what your fellow anons will tell you the AR-15 rifle is in a class of its own, far superior to the AK-47 in every possible way.

don't be lazy.
fully disassemble and clean guns after every usage.

I get the general cleaning after every usage. I do that after every range trip. I was talking about more thorough cleans for copper and lead fouling

copper fouling is good for the bore.

I run a bore snake through and wipe down surfaces after every use. Usually, each one of my guns gets a detail once a year.

Unless you're dumping 500rds a range session or are using corrosive ammo, cleaning after every range trip is not necessary.
When I DO clean my rifle however I use a copper removing bore foam every time. there are many brands and they are all generally equal in effectiveness. Spray it in, and let it sit while I clean the BCG then do the chamber and bore as usual.
