10/22 cleaning modification

[a308garand]

Brownells sells a jig to assist in drilling a hole into the rear of your receiver. You can then insert a one piece cleaning rod through the rear of the receiver and clean the barrel without of dinging up the muzzle. I have not done it yet, but really thinking of doing it.

Have you guys modified your 10/22 (by having a hole added) so that its easier to clean the barrel? Have you found it worthwhile?

Meh.
To reach and use the clean out hole, the action has to be removed from the stock and the trigger group and bolt removed.
From there it is just two screws and the barrel comes off.

I suppose that if your action is bedded to the stock and you do not want to remove it, that this is good to do.
Keep in mind that the stock may need a matching cut-away or hole in it too.
ETA: I am fail! The action must be removed to get the bolt out to access the breech.
So all you save with the hole is removing the barrel.

I prefer a simple bore snake

Save your money on the tool. Just drop a cleaning rod down and mark where it hits the rear. Transfer this to the outside and drill. Make sure it is below the stock.
This lets you clean from the breech quickly and use a good chamber brush.

I just had some of the Smashed Pumpkin Ale from the Shipyard Brewing Company that I bought at BevMo. A bottle of that and you will just wait until tomorrow to clean your rifle
