Ed,
I will admit that they are a pain to clean. However, I have found that the dremel tool with a polishing wheel works pretty well on the gas cylinder with all the grooves on it. The 682 is much easier to clean, but I don't shoot as well with it. Such is life. Haven't had any problems with any of my three 391's or my 3901, but I probably haven't put as many shells through them as you.
