How To Clean: Ruger 10-22

[@hotajax]

Loved how you saved time by skipping over the reassembly of the action. That was cool.

[@monichan2003]

I believe that was sarcasm. Love it

[@hotajax]

@@monichan2003 No, it wasn't sarcasm. It was gratitude for not having to sit through crap I already knew about.

Seemed like sarcasm to me cause if you have any idea how to disassemble the gun you shouldnt be watching this video. And 9 times out of 10 people dont know the steps to put it back together.

Shot thousands of rounds through this rifle, and have never cleaned it..... That's why I am watching this video! Am I wrong?

[@jamessloan4907]

a tiny bit of detail disassembling and reassembling might have been nice. did you think I just wanted to know how to run a patch through the barrell?

[@efreutel]

No. We at Hoppe’s thought it important most of all that you know how to ruin a gun by not running it dry as designed - but rather oiling it with our overpriced mineral oil, which will attract and hold dirt and grit, forming a great rubbing compound. Our fine oil will work it’s way into the chamber where it will prevent the cartridge from sealing against the chamber walls as an integral unit at point of ignition, resulting to damage to the chamber throat and to the bolt face from escaping gases. Pretty neat, huh? In addition over time oil- which should never have been in the gun in the first place- with the help of gravity- will find it’s way to the wood stock, causing rot and cracks. So apply our wonderful mineral oil concoction, sit back, and enjoy the show. Alternatively call Ruger customer service wherin Ruger (what do they know?) will tell you: Never oil a gun.🤠

I was taught to always start at the breach to clean . that is the way I have done it for 60 years .Why take a chance damaging the crown going through the end of barrel ? Get a Flexible Threaded Bore Cleaning Coated Cable to protect your crown and breach face.

[@patfeys8278]

I also never go from barrel to the breach, take the time and do it right - breach to barrel - no short cuts

[@justashooter5051]

The 10-22 does not give access for a cleaning rod to enter at the breach without removing the barrel from the action, so like a revolver, you generally need to clean them from the muzzle.

[@Clearanceman2]

You're a wizard with that bolt reassembly. I got the bolt wedged in sideways twice and I can tell you if this happens you will scratch the hell out of the inside the receiver getting it out. I had never done this before and it's pretty intimidating the first time.

Lots of haters out there not making better videos. Thanks for the video and taking the time to try to help others and subjecting yourself to the “experts” that could do it better, but don’t. If you own a firearm, and know anything about firearms, this video is helpful. Just needed a refresher on my 10/22. And since I took it apart, I can also put it back together without you showing me the same steps in reverse. Look forward to more videos from you.

[@efreutel]

And I look forward to the day you learned never oil a gun which information you garnered by intelligently asking questions…

[@ajax1137]

For all of the pearl-clutchers gasping over cleaning from the muzzle end, there are 2 easy solutions: 1. use a bore snake 2. many gun cleaning kits now include a crown protector that either clips over the crown or slips over the cleaning rod and sits in/on the crown as you push the rod through. The Mosin-Nagant Soviet-era cleaning kits included a crown protector. It's not like this is a new concept.

[@michaelashby4036]

It’s a 10/22 ffs!

[@mattymcmattamus]

Smells good

[@dlbkmb7231]

I disagree with cleaning the rifle barrel by inserting rod through the muzzle end versus breech end. Easy way to screw up the crown.

[@michaelreale3647]

How do you plan on inserting at a 45degree angle from the action side

[@sikaaaa]

@@michaelreale3647 Utilizing a muzzle guard/crown protector is likely the easiest and best solution. Others include: -Using a bore snake, while being careful not to bias force to one side when pulling it out the end -Inserting a cleaning rod into the receiver without the desired brush/patch holder, attaching said component, and pull it rearward out of the barrel. Personally, I'd just get the crown protector if I was worried

A video that doesnt show where the high friction oil points are or how to reassemble the gun ,great work my dude , take thr rest of the day off and rekax

[@efreutel]

Pure BS. NEVER OIL A GUN. Tool steel parts designed to bed in to each other over time. Oil ruins a gun, attracts and turns grit into a grinding paste, ruins the chamber by preventing a tight cartridge to chamber gad seal during ignition, seeps into the stock and rots the wood. Call Ruger customer service. They built the damn thing and hnow more about their own guns than anyone else. Ruger will tell you over the phone: Never oil a gun. 🤠☺️👍👍👍

[@efreutel]

above typo: gas seal

[@rekord2006]

Where are "high friction areas"? Reassembly instructions???

[@judgedredd1399]

I'm not trying to be rude, I'm trying to be helpful to folks. I stopped 1:52 into video. Never clean muzzle to breech. ALWAYS clean your barrels following the projectiles path. From breech to muzzle. For new shooters or folks that don't know those terms. From the cartridges entry/starting point to the exit. Buy A Bore Snake and learn to use it folks. 🐍🧵💪

Dang….I’ve only had mine a little while…like 40 years or so. Shot hundreds of bricks of 22’s through it.

I guess it’s good to know how it comes apart but think I’ll just shoot mine. Thanks

[@greysonbridges8404]

I think I’m a little screwed. The barrel clamp on the front of the gun is messed up now and I can’t take it off. I stripped out the area where the actual nut is that is supposed to stay still and now it just spins and the bolt isn’t coming out at all. Any tips? Anything would be greatly appreciated

[@brewmaster212]

Drill it out.. buy a new band

[@FirstGameFreak1000]

It’s possible you only loosed the nut from the screw to the point where they are now free spinning, because the nut is a replaceable, disposable part, and THE NUT IS NOT CAPTIVE. If loosened enough, it will leave its channel and freely spin as the screw spins, thus not unscrewing. To solve this, press the nut into the cutout of the barrel band WHILE you are unscrewing it. Turn the screw, but DO NOT PRESS DOWN. You’ll just press the nut out of the channel if you do. You can’t unscrew the nut from the screw if the nut if not held in place by the cutout in the barrel band.

[@hawklerfalco9067]

Short and clear explanation, thank you

[@groovee63]

I don't know why everybody's hung up on which direction to go. To me that makes absolutely no sense. Am I missing something here but the barrel is not tapered inside a rifle.. unless you're pushing concrete out of the inside of the barrel what difference does it make. The breach is still easy to get to on a 1022. And again unless you're pushing concrete all the gunk is going to be on the Cotton patch 4:12

[@PapaKeef]

nice how you skipped over the hardest part. Thanks for nothing dude

[@efreutel]

The hardest part is resisting that urge to oil a gun.

[@popsmccartney435]

Thanks for sharing

[@johnwright5041]

gee i dont know where to begin and dont want to be rude and contrary but ill share that i clean ever time i shoot mine and i take her clear down. get yourself a inch pound torque wrench use felt pellets get a good coated rod and have a set of v blocks or one of them plastic gizmos to set the barreled action into i highly reccomend going fore to aft as in cleaning from back to front use number 9 after you get thru with sweets if needed and jb if if needed start the first run w #9 let her sit fore a while then get to scrubbin with a plastic brush and some bore cleaner like 9 then a dry patch to check then when clean work a patch or pellet soaked in lock ease down the barrelled action of course dissasemble the bolt and trigger action clean and lightly relubricate with your choice of gun oil sparingly then reassemble and torque the hold down lug to the same torque setting that worked best for you

[@johnwright5041]

what im tryin to say is start with 9 let her sit go in dry read what you got if its still and probably will be do it again if its about the same get to scrubbin with the sweets hit a dry patch or 2 then wet mop w9 let her sit to check if you got anything on it commence to scrubbing with jb and felt pettets then some dry pellets then a-wet 9 pellet let it sit them check it w a dry one.

Hoppes wont remove copper at all. Through it away and get some wipe out for copper and use butch’s paste or Iosso for the carbon. Use penetrating oil after its is clean and make sure to run a couple of dry patches afterwards.

[@marksd5650]

See Forrest Trenaman’s 10/22 cleaning video for a thorough and up close video. This one is crap for the actual details about how to proceed. Forrest disassbles the 10 round 10/22 magazines as well.

[@blimey48]

Thanks for skipping how to get the bolt and recoil spring apart but noting how difficult it is

[@efreutel]

“Put a drop of gun oil on high friction areas” - to which I ask: Where’s the spark plug? Guns are not reciprocating engines. They are tool steel and are designed to run dry. Oiling a gun simply magnetizes grit into a rubbing compound and gravity forces oil into the stock where it rots the wood. Don’t take my word for it. Call Ruger customer service and they will tell you the same thing: NEVER OIL A GUN! 🤠

[@dominicromano1611]

Did I see him clean the barrel from the muzzle? I always clean from the breech. I think that's the recommended way.

[@efreutel]

Well no, the important thing got you to buy Hoppe’s gun oil $$$ instead of purchasing a quart of mineral oil at Rite Aid- the same thing- and great when a little bit added to 100% cotton flannel rag to wipe down parts during reassembly - before which you called Ruger customer service and they confirmed over the phone : Never oil a gun!

Then, buy more hoppes and then buy more and more until you spend $1000.00 a year!🙏

[@efreutel]

Correct. $$ mostly spent cause you ruined your guns in the first place by oiling them. Buy a quart of mineral oil at Rite Aid. Put a teaspoon of that oil on a 20” x 20” 100% cotton flannel rag (purchase by the yard dressmaking store- stored in airtight container). Wring the oil into your rag and use the rag to wipe down all parts during reassembly and also the exterior of your gun anytime after handling. That’s all the oiling your gun ever needs. Ruger customer service will tell you over the phone: Never oil a gun!👍

[@efreutel]

P,S. Hoppe’s gun oil is just repackaged mineral oil with maybe a little dye and perfume added. Rite Aid mineral oil 100% the same thing.

[@efreutel]

Yeah and try Hoppe’s gun oil in your hair. It’ll attract dirt same as the gun. You and your gun will both smell great and you’ll be a big hit at the range.🤡
