What's a good solvent to clean Marlin? I use Hoppes 9 and Hoppes lubricating oil for my 9mm, can i use the same on this?

I use MPro7 but Hoppes will work just fine.

Which bore brush and cleaning rod do you guys use for your Marlin's? I searched Amazon.com and couldnt find any good ones.

thanks

[Ricky-Ray]

Any bore brush/cleaning rod for 22lr rifle will do. I just use a boresnake.

Tech-sight is over priced. But it is the only game in the town.

What about the factory Marlin adjustable for $10?

Picked mine up from Turner's Pasadena on Friday night and went to Angeles Shooting Range on Sunday. First time shooting since Boy Scouts so I was worried I'd look like an idiot but it all went great. Went with a friend who just got a Savage MkII. Got there when they opened, shot 200 rounds and had a great time.



I put on a sling and Tec Sights and shot CCI Mini Mags at 25 yards all day. Took me a while to get the sights dialed in but by the end of the day I was shooting some decent groups.



Nothing to brag about but I was happy I wasn't all over the place. Had a lot of fun hitting the metal target at 100 yards. Not exactly a tiny target but there's something so satisfying about hearing that, "ping!"

Here's my photo gallery in case you care about seeing some artsy fartsy photos of a gun range. I'm the guy without the hat.

Congrats! I got my 10/22 from that same Turner's almost a year ago. Still considering selling it to finance a Savage MkII or a CZ452. (Jealous of that out-of-the-box accuracy)

.22 boresnake works great. Remove the bolt, wipe everything down. I use CLP (Clean/Lubricate/Preservative) sprayed on the snake brush area, and pull it through a few times and it seems pretty clean at the end of the process. The trigger group is also easy to remove and clean.

I'll be there, although I've had my Marlin for a little over a year now

This is my set up too. I can't wait for Appleseed this weekend to see what I can do with it.

I will bring my new 795 to appleseed this Saturday.

I do not expect good score. Just want to learn and have fun.

If you get a cleaning rod make sure you use a bore guide as you take a chance of damaging the crown on the barrel when cleaning from the front of the barrel. Will greatly affect accuracy if the crown is damaged. I only use a boresnake on my Marlin 60 to ensure I don't damage the crown.

You guys who are going to the Corona 210 are making me jealous. My Marlin's won't be out of jail till the 26th. Still have to pay 'em off on Thursday.

I'd love to do an Appleseed at some point. I doubt my shooting buddy would want to though.
