I had a 10/22 that saw heavy use the last 50 years and was a neglected "ranch rifle" that saw varmint and skunk duty. I noticed it was rusty on the barrel the other day and I realized I had never cleaned it! I used your video to handle that task. Thanks!
Just a suggestion, your hands and arms are in the way. Point and explain what you are going to do before blocking the camera. Besides that thank you for the video.
One of the all time great guns. And a plethora of mods for it. Easily eats all 22s. The memory's I have of mine. And as you showed easy to take apart and clean a must in a 22.
Thank you. It was easier than expected even with a different stock but i was able to tare it down and give it a full cleaning with no issue besides the sharp lip where the C or V clamp goes. It opened my thumb up jut by touching it. But still an amazing video.
Saw a video from "FIRE MOUNTAIN OUTDOORS' in which he got a nylon bolt for about a dollar and fit it to replace the 10/22's metal bolt buffer to quiet it down. Looked interesting and not too hard to do. Said it cushions the slamming against the metal pin that is in there now. May try it out.
Thanks. Whenever I do a gun cleaning video it is because I have been busy and haven't had time to do a more educational video so I just break out a gun and clean it.
I have never personally used either of those, but I believe G96 is more commonly used on firearms then CLP. I use Ballistol because the first 9mm cleaning video I ever watched used it so that is what I bought... haha. But here I am years later still using it. Besides Hickok45 swears by the stuff and he has been using it for decades. But you are right there are other lubricants that work great.
I'm a brand new newbie, learning on my own. I have three thoughts: you've already heard the suggestion to move your hands out of the way. I'm also leery of any cleaning video that doesn't start with checking to see if the firearm is loaded. I think it's obvious, but I'll need to watch another video to be sure I've got that part right. And if you redo the video, can you remove the sight before you start to disassemble it? It was just more visual confusion I had to sort through as I watched.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. The forward pin holding in the trigger group comes right out but the rear pin and the pin for the bolt assembly just will NOT come out on mine. II don't have much of a work station. No work bench or anything. I just roll out a mat on the floor and sit. Still, I've given it a decent whack with my punch that I use on the other pin easily enough and neither will move. Maybe If I drip some oil around the area and let it soak over night, maybe it'll get in there....
@@TheLarkinsLair Yeah, I got some help at a gunsmith who clamped it down and even he really had to whack it a few times to get the offending pins loose. They come out easier now that they've been moved. It's strange as I watch some vids on cleaning the 10/22 and just tipping it sideways once it's out of the stock seems to drop the pins for some people but mine are in considerably more tight. I think having them be a bit tight is better than their being loose as that's a good way to lose them but I have ordered some spares just to be safe.
Yep, If it is really dirty then I have a brush I can use, but I rarely use it. Honestly the point is to just clean the barrel some people say you shouldn't go back and fourth or that you have to use patches, but honestly it doesn't really matter. I use paper towels all day long and never have an issue.
You can clean the mag but don't need to as regularly as you do the gun. Also, I don't need any oil in the magazine. I learned that out the hard way. Putting back together after you take it apart is a hassel. Took me 3 hours.
I thought I had seen on the newer 1022s that there was a I think plastic cap that pops off the backside of the top of the receiver .. once that’s out of the way you can remove the bolt and then clean the barrel from the rear… Was I dreaming?
After looking around on some of the firearms forms it sounds like you are not alone. However the best solutions I read about were to take a firearms punch set and hammer and hit the pins out, ensuring that there is a gap below the firearm for the pins to go into. One guy positioned it over a crack in his deck to get the pins out. Maybe one of these forms will help. www.perfectunion.com/threads/new-10-22-receiver-cross-pin-stuck-help.84309/ www.northwestfirearms.com/threads/receiver-pins-stuck-in-10-22.254898/ www.reddit.com/r/1022/comments/13uezg5/cant_disassemble_1022_pins_wont_come_out/ I wish you lived near by, that sounds like a great video to make showing how to get the stuck pins out. Good luck.
got to improve your camera angle.... need to see where and what you're doing with part placement. hands and wrists are all you see.(especially on the bolt/spring section which is the trickiest part of take down and put back.
Lost me at the pins you popped out that you covered with your hands. Now im sitting here not knowing what im aupposed to push on and nothing wants to come out easy so now i have to blindly hammer on pins that may or may not be what im suppoaed to do. On ti the next shit video i guess
