Thread: .22 Cleaning

iv got my dads 10/22 that he used when possum shooting for a living.(in the 70's, only head shots as they skinned them.) he never owned a cleaning kit. the bore never got cleaned, maybe just a wipe down on the outside. I could only guess how many thousands of rounds it fired.
I got it a couple of years ago, at that stage I didn't have .22 brushes and didn't know how to clean a semi, so I asked dean maisey to clean it when he was lightning the trigger.
I didn't notice it shooting any better, maybe just a little, but I would have put that down to the lighter trigger making it easier to hold steady while squeezing.

I wont be cleaning it again, I do pay strict attention to my centrefires though.
