    I consider myself fortunate, because I enjoy cleaning my guns as much as I like shooting them. Few things are as relaxing as being out in the reloading shed, watching some good YouTube, and cleaning a gun. Thanks for all the great videos, be well and God bless.
  • I use the cheapest rimfire rounds available. Usually the "thunderbolts"... those guys make my muzzleloader look clean! Nice cleaning video.

    Dude, you literally posted this on the day that I am planning to teach my girlfriend how to clean. Now it's this much easier! Thanks a ton, son!

    Genuinely enjoyed this vid. 47 years old, been shooting and cleaning my 22's for 4 decades now 😶 And yet learned something new today. Awesome. 😎 Great vid dude!

    I think Foaming bore cleaner is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Thanks!

    Did not know that about lead coating the barrel. Thanks for the info!!!! Not a strong supporter of "Every time used, clean it", I clean when I start having feeding issues or accuracy issues. Good video!!!

    Awesome! Thanks so much for your insight man! Been shooting .22 and beyond since my Dad started me at age 5. Never knew there were long term storage products out there, thank you so much for enlightening me!!

    Thanks for the bolt tip. That sends me back to the cleaning.

    Great insight on barrel maintenance. I never thought about the lead filling in the machine marks from the boring bar and reamer cutting the barrel ID. Using the snake would clean the rifling and minimize removing the “seasoning.”

    Great video ! I clean my hunting guns at the end of the season when I plan on storing them in the safe , before season starts I go to the range and shoot to make sure I'm still zeroed in and hunt the entire season without cleaning no mater how much I shoot . if I am out in rain ill wipe down the exterior but never clean the rifling in the barrel . like 22 plinkster said you want the barrel leaded .

    FWIW: I use a bronze brush twice, one way only. Then I use giant Q Tips called RamRodz (caliber specific) with bore cleaner to or three times, followed by dry RamRodz until they come out mostly clean. Lastly I do one pass with Bore Stix which are prelubed with an oil that keeps the bore from rusting. The Bore Stix also serve to do a final cleaning as well as protecting the bore of the rifle. I have not noticed any accuracy issues with the first several shots at the range after cleaning compared to the rifle during use.

    Great video from someone who shoot alot. I've heard that most casual shooters clean too much. Good tips and product usage
  • Thank you anything you can tell us is appreciated god bless stay safe
  • Excellent vid bud. Very balanced and never to far one way or the other. New or experienced gunnies can take away alot from this vid. Thank you. Oh and BTW.... you need to collab with Hickok and then Matt and then maybe one of those other guys. Or... all those other guys. Lol

    after 200 rounds or so i run my ripcord through when rifle is still warm, job done. after 5-600 rounds i clean the chamber only to remove the carbon ring. for this i use J-B bore paste and kroil, or bore-tech carbon remover... great vid, cheers.

    Otis should have just put this commercial on their own channel

    Thanks, took a lot of the mystery out of cleaning 22's
