Minnesota Mike:

I always take mine out, but on some of my guns it probably wouldn't be needed because crud doesn't seem to get down into lock works.
jbullard1:
I take mine out every time
Spotted Bull:
I remove mine as well........use a good strong toothbrush to clean it with.
rollingb:
I take mine off when I clean as well.
The priming fouling can get into the smallest crack, draw moisture and cause rust, if it's ignored.
