Martin TaylorRe: To Clean or Not to Clean : 22LRGood topic Danny, I have been told the same but clean mine a few times a year depending on use anyway........should be interesting to see what people do! I don't scrub it hard though, just carbon removal mainly.As a side note the 22 magnums will copper foul, l found that out the hard way with a CZ l had. The shop told me to treat it as a 22, big mistake! |

Bryan WebsterRe: To Clean or Not to Clean : 22LRI tend to be careful about carbon buildup, but only once or twice a year, I give each .22 a thorough job before putting it away. In doing so, I take them apart and look over everything to ensure all is well, then lube inside as well as out before tucking them away. I also admit that I was a lot more fussy when my boys were taking them out hunting with them than when I do so myself.Perhaps as much a reflection on being retired as anything...spare time and all that. |

Shawn BevinsRe: To Clean or Not to Clean : 22LRI have looked down bores off 22s that were never cleaned.. it was obvious...whats the point? Protect your investment, clean em.. |

Warwick MarflittRe: To Clean or Not to Clean : 22LRKeep them clean. I always cleaned my 22 BC Moruku lever gun. spray with WD 40 wipe with a oily rag and patch the barrel till clean. I could shoot the tui bird picture on a beer can in the head at 50 Meters every time. it was my possum gun for spotlighting It has a parker hale silencer and I used .22 Shorts in its tube magazine. From memory it held 24 rounds. My brother has it in Australia now. Less the silencer. |

Alex LangleyRe: To Clean or Not to Clean : 22LRYears ago I used to clean it after every outing, not so much now. Much like Bryan I clean mine a couple of times a year. Without fail, after cleaning my 50m groups go from being about the size of a 10c piece to about a 50c piece. After 20 or 30 shots it is back to what it wasAlex |
