Mine is "deep cleaning my AR's bolt carrier group". I know I should do it more often, but disassembly, scrubbing all those tiny parts, getting carbon out of every crevice, it's tedious! I do it eventually, just not as often as I should. The gun runs fine enough that I keep procrastinating on the deep clean. I am not proud of it, just being honest.
 
Scrubbing carbon off the bolt face. It works fine, so I keep procrastinating anyway
 
For me, the real headache is cleaning inside magazines. Everyone fusses over the rifle itself but dirty mags mess up feeding way more than people realize. I keep telling myself I’ll get to it this weekend.
