| It's hard to tell with the information provided. Pistols will be different from rifles, pistols will be different from pistols, and rifles will be different from rifles. One method will not work for all your firearms. I clean my Glock in ten minutes, but it takes me about six times longer for my precision rifle.
If you're talking about an AR, is the bore chrome-lined? If not has it been lapped? If not, has it been "broken-in"? How many rounds did you fire? What ammo did you use? Are you using a proper sized brush or jag (copper solvent will actually erode them)?
All these factors will affect your cleaning to some degree.
