Cleaning

[Swif]

I know there are many threads on cleaning and what products memebers use. I have read a few and I am still a little lost on what to use.

For now I will be cleaning a Savage MK I FVT and a Ruger 10/22 take down. what do you guys recommend?

If you can put this in simple terms as I am new to this world.

Thanks for the info.

Get yourself a bore snake and some Hoppes No. 9, as well as a standard cleaning kit. You should be good to go.

After reading lots of articles, I don't clean my .22lr barrel anymore. When I shot in competitive .22 in high school, we never cleaned the anschutz target barrels. My coach said that over time the copper/carbon fouling smoothed over the rough spots in a .22 barrel. We wiped down the bolts and actions only with some CLP. Now I do the same with .22lr AR upper. Just clean the bolt, and that's about it.

i believe in solvent and oil , i do not like the combo stuff. i like a clean gun inside and out. when in doubt clean it.

For a cleaning solvent I really like Hoppes Elite(same as MPro 7), I started using it instead of #9 several years ago, its just way faster.

For lube I use Tetra Grease, Slip 2000 (big friction areas) and Gun Butter (small moving parts), but I still use CLP or Hoppes for certain jobs. CLP for quick all-in-one clean and lube jobs at the range and the Hoppes oil I still use to lightly lube barrel bores after cleaning.
