barrel cleaning?

[Pete]

Me too, one pull with the snake, last six inches sprayed with a touch of 3 in 1, then into the cupboard.
Dry patch and mop out chamber with brake cleaner just prior to packing for next shoot.

Hmm, looks like I could be overdoing it a bit then.

My rifles get cleaned ( wipeout, plastix brush and patches ) after every use. Whether one round or one hundred rounds fired.

On my .22s only the action and muzzle ( and integral suppressor ) get cleaned.

I clean mine every 1000 rounds even if it doesn't need cleaning.

Black powder guns do get cleaned after use.

"Black powder guns do get cleaned after use.".................black powder guns NEED to get cleaned after use.................

And that's why I don't shoot black powder guns.

Think my 10/22 hasnt been cleaned in 10 years. shot most weeks...

[Plumose]

Do you clean the action of the 10/22 though?

[Gh0st]

Nope....

[Daryll]

My 10/22 and Marlin underlever used to get cleaned once a year, just before Phoenix... but not the barrels, just the actions to try to make sure they didn't jam..
