just got a 10/22 - what do I 'need'?

[Shrubmaster]

At a bare minimum you just need a cleaning kit capable of cleaning a 22 rifle bore and ammo.

If you want to go nuts you can end up with all kinds of crazy stuff on those.

Here's mine before I went crazy on it:

Will that utg rail work with a bull barrel?

That is super clean really wanna see what it looks like now I also just picked up a 10/22 but synth stock 10 days are up tomorrow the day I paid for the 10/22 I order 2 trimags and 7 mags bore snake, bushnell scope, rings and rail mount and 4 boxes of ammo can't wait to take her out hahaha

There are two mandatory things you need. A few extra mags and an auto bolt release. Trust me (and all the others who have mentioned it), get the auto bolt release. Yes, you can make your own... But they are only $10, so buying one won't the bank... Now that you have some mags and your auto bolt release, go shoot...

Now for when you get home from shooting, how do you clean it? I do not suggest you take a cleaning rod and shove it down the bore... It's too easy to ruin the crown and that will destroy the accuracy of your new barrel. Instead, find someone at your shooting range who has a Ruger 10/22 drill jig. Then you can drill a hole in the rear of the receiver that is perfectly lined up with the breech end of the bore. Now you can clean your barrel from the breech end with no fear of ruining your crown...

I've looked at these time and time again, and I still want one, I was thinking of posting an Anderson AR lower or 2 to help offset the cost of getting one. I know I wont regret getting one.
