I just disassemble every moving part and wipe them down oil and re assemble. I don't own any rifles though so can't help you on the jamming up

yeah thats what ive been doing. i do have some big wire brushes that came with the kits but they seem like they might scratch up the bore and stuff so i never used them. i was told that as long as i oil up and wipe down everything it would prevent build up.

Don't use a bore snake. Rifle or shotgun?

Too much oil will cause a lot of guns to malfunction as well.
I'm anal about it, I completely disassemble, scrub parts with nylon brush and cleaner, run a brass brush through the barrel and then run a swab or patches through the barrel. Finally just a drop of oil on the parts that really need it. Finish by wiping the whole thing down with an cloth impregnated with protectant.
