Cleaning a Ruger 10/22 Rifle

[@francoisrioux5869]

Awesome video, clear and to the point. For anyone strugglinh with putting back the bolt and charging handle, I found that the trick is to use both hands to pull the handle back against the spring, then retain it with your index in a hook and your thumb pressing against the back of the receiver. Then put in the bolt, gently wiggle the handle while pressing down on the bolt, it should snap right in place

[@thetatonka7029]

Good video, I really liked how you skipped the repetitive parts with the bore cleaning and stuck to the meat and potatoes but didn't leave any steps out, very well done, thanks.

[@travisfritts6262]

Just wanted to drop a quick note to say "Thanks!" for making this video! Today was my first time taking apart a 10-22 after running several rounds through it this week! Great angles and tips for reassembly! Worked perfectly! Thanks!

[@wipeoutking]

Finally! A simple, straightforward, well-lit video. Thanks.

[@dj3114]

Never seen anyone assemble a bolt so smoothly. I can't do it and it's taken me 15-20 minutes before. I ended up by the Gunsmither Bolt Bar which made things so easy. However, this guy did it slightly faster than I can using the tool.

[@reneenewfrock9131]

Thank you. Just bought a 10/22 last week and this was my first step to gaining knowledge about it. Gun safety includes disassemble, cleaning, reassemble and learning to fire properly.

[@claytongehrke2176]

I brought my 22 to work to clean it but forgot the manual. You saved my day with this video

[@apexalaska]

I just got my first 10/22 yesterday and went straight to the range and put over 200 rounds through it. I cleaned it right away but it's still cool to see how a more experienced guy does it.

[@blexxy5861]

I've put almost 1000 rounds haven't cleaned it yet.

[@leolopez8463]

@@blexxy5861 Same lmao. I put about 1,500 rounds in it before I cleaned it.

[@andrewhargett6114]

Very well done comprehensive video that shows the step by step process to take apart, clean and reassemble a Ruger 10/22. I found this video after taking my rifle apart and then ran into a bit of trouble putting the charging handle and carrier back together. After watching how the author does it ( a few times) I was able to put mine back together.

[@keithjacobson4493]

Excellent camera placement makes this a great video.

Excellent video, I just bought one and shot about 500 rounds. Really nice gun. Thanks for a very easy to understand tutorial!

Todd, new to your channel. Looking for all things 10/22 for the new season. Your cleaning video is the best that I've seen. No history lesson, no fluff, no blah, blah, blah, just the facts ma'am. Keep up the great work!!!

Thank you my friend! I'm glad you found some value in my videos, it means a lot to me.

I own one of these. Thanks.

[@Bush63Master]

Best no nonsense video I've seen so far!!! If you take care of your weapons then you shouldn't need all the solvents...the advanced cleaners available today make cleaning and maintenance a breeze. If you notice your accuracy is a bit off then you can take the bolt assembly out of the receiver and use a good bore cleaner and bore brush to clean out the buildup in the barrel groves, run some clean patches through it to remove the residue...run a clean, lightly oiled patch through it followed with dry patches until clean. If you keep on top of the maintenance you shouldn't have to do that often.

[@swissmiss1705]

where ever he puts clp is where you put lube also put it on any shinny spots

cool video...i got myself a bore snake the other day for my ruger 10/22 and my AR15...it works great...but i do recommend just getting a HUGE bag of Q-Tips for cleaning intricate places, because you can get a fresh one every time for 100s of cleanings and it wont cost you more than a few bucks

You just got my sub for the bob ross vibes. 👌🏼 my 10/22 wasn’t extracting so I needed this.

[@joeschaus7338]

Perfect. Very detailed. Thank you!

[@runnerba]

I have a 1022 from 2012. I hadn't cleaned the firing pin yet. It happens that it got stuck due to the accumulation of dirt crust. It only started working again after a lot of brushing with a brass brush. With the lock, it prevented the rear part of the cartridge from rising completely onto the bolt, locking the cartridge half out of the chamber. Periodic cleaning of the bolt, at least every 200 shots, seems like a good idea.

[@Howardtripper]

this is another reason you should buy a 10/22 because of the easy take down and assembly this gun is a dream to own

[@glenncahn1007]

Very nice video overall, offering a lot of reassurance for a newbie to gun disassembly and cleaning. Two points I got hung up on: where the charging handle fits against (it’s barely visible for a second in the video, as to it not being flush against the rear. And why the bolt would not move forward after dropping it into place (it wasn’t quite flush and was protruding a teeny bit on one side. Beyond those two points which occupied about 20 minutes of time to play and re-play several times the video sections, it went very smoothly. Thank you.

[@jeffmontgomery1905]

Great job

[@brinkybrink]

Thanks for the close up on reinstalling the bolt.

Video was well done, its better than the videos from those big name companies, Keep up the good work.

[@junger1777]

Nice video but aren't you suppose to pull the Bore Snake out through the muzzle, not pull it back and forth? And it is always best to not shove anything back into the "crown" of the barrel.

[@FTB1776]

only clean from breach to bore, if you don't you may damage the crown .

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

I don't think a bore snake is going to damage the crown.

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

They just get contaminated easily

[@billystink4611]

FTB FPV unless you are using a cleaning rod, then you don’t have much of a choice.

[@John5.56]

If you're using a bore snake just pull it straight through. Don't pull it back and forth.

This video just shows you how to disassemble and reassemble the rifle. As far as cleaning goes, everyone who owns one of these rifles has their own idea of cleaning it

[@thescratchylens]

Love the video. Love the use of rare Jesus Lizard (Wheelchair Epidemic) in the intro. I used to have that track on ‘45. Remember those? I do hate cleaning my 10/22 though. Replacing the bolt assembly is hard on my hands and I have scratched the bluing around the ejection port struggling with it. Takes a lot of the fun out of shooting the rifle for me, unfortunately.

[@josephgeorgeejr7039]

Definitely recommend as u did, if possible, leave the barrel on in place as lining up the extractor to the grove in the barrel can be tricky,but not much reason to take barrel off with bore snake!

[@JimmyCricket61258]

Thanks for a very good cleaning vid.

[@SneakyChopsticks93]

So much easier than a Marlin 60. Lost my disconnector spring today. Finally biting the bullet for a 10/22 backpacker. Love my Marlin, but she's too picky on food, and losing a piece of her while cleaning was the last straw.

[@canadianoperator]

Good thing you've got that muzzle brake for the monstrous recoil on that bad boy ;) :P Just bought a 10/22 and really enjoying it. Nice to see how they come apart. Might to a little video myself on my cleaning regimen once I need to do that on my 10/22. Nice work :)

Thanks man. Don't have mussel brake but mine is 'Real Tree' camo'd out with bi pod. Mussel brake on old tac-ta-1022, interesting 🤔

[@peterliverca4639]

If you look you will find about 20 cases of using a bore snake on a .33 rifle and you pull it all the way through so you don't bring the dirt it has picked up on the front end of the snake back into the bore. . Actually they are made to be pulled all the way through, even what looks like a handle.

[@Chalz108]

This is correct. He should not have pulled that gunk back towards the breach. What's the point of cleaning the barrel if you just pull dirt back towards the breach? Lol

[@electropentatonic]

Love me a good 10/22.

[@viliamiunga2543]

[@dutchleussink156]

[@ericb.davenport9762]

Very nice presentation. But don’t forget the magazine.

[@jmedi5589]

I like that stock.

[@NLINE7]

I like that stock to and wish Ruger would offer it and the old boat paddle stock. Those paddle stocks can get expensive on Ebay when you can find them.

[@akratch]

I was under the impression a barrel rod or boresnake should only be pulled one way (away from the breach), Is it wise to go both ways with it?

[@mopar21]

david ratchford no this guy is not knowledgeable about cleaning guns at all.

[@jmedi5589]

I cleaned stubborn gunk out of a .25 cal pocket pistol that way. Didn’t do anything to the rifling and the bore was nice and shiny. So it depends. Maybe all the time isn’t ideal but in situations like that it wouldn’t hurt.

[@aaaaa1957]

Jmedi5 5 in this case it should go only the one way, the only time you don’t is when you can’t get it done the right way. You really don’t want to take a chance and Knick the crown of the barrel, you can degrade your accuracy without it showing.

[@miked2954]

Very helpful. Thanks.

[@chevyguy1128]

I just bought a new 10 22 I'm going to purchase some ballistol and give it a good cleaning and put the new auto slide lock part in.

[@andreaskirchner7718]

Excellent video!

[@davidlarue5713]

Very good, quality video.

[@tacoscheap]

You can get by with a simple cleaning kit. I prefer adding polymer picks, several brush sizes and options,a magnetic parts tray $2 from harbor freight and worth its weight in gold. Not only does it save lost parts, it can double as a retrieval tool. Lost that tiny spring in the carpet? Just use the magnet to “sweep” over the area and it’ll jump out of obscurity. If you have the option an air compressor or canned air is a wonderful addition to any cleaning station. There are places the air forces lube in and grime out. An ultrasonic cleaner is another invaluable addition. Sealing small parts and some cleaning solution in a freezer bag (or better using a vacuum sealer) then submerging it in the USC is the way to go. The silicon cloth end step is freaking amazing. Those are the tits

[@drbkjv]

Have you ever used the brunox Gun oil ?.

[@imprezzive3153]

Just bought a ruger 10/22 LR. How often should I be cleaning it? I've owned it for a week but have already put 500+ rounds through the gun

[@jacquesd5781]

New owner here too, so take this with a grain of salt, but I've read/heard that these get dirty pretty quick. 500 rounds would usually be a little overdue for cleaning, as most probably clean them every couple hundred rounds, max. Some even less than that. But others don't worry about it as much if it shoots well and the accuracy is there. But again, I may be wrong, so don't quote me on that, lol. Cheers.

[@rondoschiavoni8840]

can I use a spray automobile brake cleanser to get the residue off the parts?

[@eNosArmory]

+Rondo Schiavone You can... I've used Clean Streak Metal Prep before, its basically the same thing.

[@rondoschiavoni8840]

That's good Aerosol Brake Cleaner, and can I use WD-40 to lightly oil or .heavy duty Silicon spray?

[@eNosArmory]

Rondo Schiavoni no

[@rondoschiavoni8840]

Could suggest a lubricant or do not use any ?

[@eNosArmory]

WD-40 is not a lubricant, nor should it be used when a good lube is needed. Now WD has branched out and is starting to make some other lubes that are very good... but stay away from original WD-40. T-9 is what a lot of people think WD-40 is... a corrosion inhibitor AND good lubricant... its 3x the cost, but worth it. Silicon spray has its pros and cons, I suggest people do their research and decide if they want that cleaning and lubing protocol. Personally I used PTFE lubes like CLP, triflow, ballistol.... but about a year ago I switched to Pro Gold.

[@standingbear39]

[@BlackDogEddie]

Is that peep sight integrated into the rail or mounted separately? I've been looking at the Williams Ace in the Hole sight which looks similar. But perhaps Ruger would sell a replacement rail like yours for less.

[@trevormetivier3684]

The third and biggest pin on my 22 won’t come out. I think they glued it in or something. This means that I can’t take the bolt out because it won’t slide back the whole way. What should I do?

Did you add an aftermarket brake to the end of the barrel? Who is the manufacturer and do you like it and is it the same brake for a Ruger SR-22 barrel?

[@eNosArmory]

Nope... stock break.

[@hypercamnerd]

i do the same u do, exept cleaning the barrel. 22lr got grease at the tip for a reason. when i clean the barrel, it takes 2-300 shots to get my old accuracy back. just a tip, i only clean the barrel every 2 years or so.
