What Excalibur said...that would just be retarded.

My uncle owns an original pre-ban M1A that he used to shoot in local competitions, and I'm pretty sure he cleans the damn thing compulsively (when I shot it, it was already 20 years old, but it was in perfect condition because of how well he maintained it). If it was less accurate for being cleaned so often, I sure didn't notice, and neither did he.
