How to Clean the Ruger 10/22

[@jimmyleon2983]

The 10/22 can be a little tricky to disassemble and reassemble for cleaning. I've gotten excellent results in cleaning my 10/22 by just pulling back the bolt, locking it into position and scrubbing the bolt face, feeding ramp and entire loading breach area with a toothbrush, a smaller child's toothbrush works best, then wipe the area with a clean cloth and you're good to go. I've had my 10/22 for 20+ years and have never disassembled it for cleaning.

Everyone has their own lil' techniques. Thanks for watching and sharing.

Subbed. I usually clean mine every 500 rounds so it's pretty dirty when I do get around to cleaning it. Clever idea with the "custom" toothbrush. Gonna steal that idea.

Yeah, that .22 ammo is some dirty stuff. Thanks for watching!

Helpful! Enjoyed this. You made everything clear. Looks straightforward. Thank you.

[@scrib_nibit]

Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.

I find the hardest part is getting the bolt back over the charging handle during reassembly. The charging handle cocks slightly to a different angle, preventing the bolt from going over it. I noticed you had a camera cut there too. Gotta be a good trick for this out there...

Ya, I did a cut scene. The trick is to get it lined up the first time. Sometimes you get it...other times you don't. The struggle is real.

#1, remove wood and glass. #2 spray thoroughly with brake cleaner be sure to get every nook. #3, blow dry with compressed air. #4 lubricate and put the stock back on. Seriously, I don't disassemble at all, just spray, blow, and lube.

What ever works for you. This is more along the lines of a deep cleaning. .22LR are notoriously dirty. Thanks for watching.

No long intro and other useless stuff. I like Ballistol clp myself.
