Cleaning .22lr Bolt action rifle

[wakeskater02]

Hello,

I have this .22lr bolt action rifle. Not sure how to clean it exactly? I can't figure out if the bolt even comes out of the weapon? I am not sure of the brand currently, but I am going to figure out the brand and see if I can find a manual for it. Just wanted to post on here.....anyone have any ideas or seen it before?



Thanks for the help!

1. Squirt BreakFree CLP down barrel from the bolt end.
2. Let sit for 5 minutes.
3. Pull a Bore Snake through the barrel, starting from the bolt end.
4. Repeat Step 3 two more times.
5. Squirt BreakFree CLP on a patch just until wet but not dripping, and run the patch through the barrel on a rod or whatever you have. Run through 2 or 3 times.
6. Done until next time.

Make sure its unloaded.
Pull and hold trigger.
Rotate bolt.
Pull back and slide out.

Also any pics of manufacturers markings would help

Brand and model should be stamped into the barrel.
Looks like a Marlin (maybe under the Glenfield name)

Use a bore guide, rod, and jag. It's a little more effective than a boresnake.

Marlins have a ejector in a fixed position attached between the receiver and the barrel. Be careful with the rod and don't snag it and break it. Just look for anything in the line of the rod.

I prefer a bore snake. I only clean out my marlin bolt action when I can feel grit when cycling the bolt and I only clean the barrel when my groups start to open up. It takes maybe 10 rounds for it to tighten up groups again.

A good product for cleaning is the OTIS system. Better than a boresnake, although boresnakes are good for a quick cleaning at the range. The OTIS is available at most gun shops. Its a pull thru system like the boresnake but uses a bronze brush and patches. Not expensive and easy to use.

I use a rod, the OTIS and the boresnake depending on the job at hand.

[Dannicus]

Don't, see how the Otis is better than a bore snake. I actually really don't like the Otis thing, I'd use a rod, jag, and brush before using the those. Mostly because I can't stand patch loops.

Take advantage of the knowledge here. First identify the gun. Then remove the bolt. An Otis Kit is great but the Bore Snake will do a great job and in most cases cost less.
A rod isn't necessary.
Break Free CLP works great but there are many products readily available that do.
Wipe all metal down with a very light application of CLP or oil. Avoid any CLP or like product from contacting the wood finish. Some finishes will react badly.

I have an otis kit and dont like it for 22 or revolvers. The length of the cable end with a brush attached tends to make it awkward and difficult to line the implement up with the bore. Also I don't like it much for AR's because there's no good way to get behind the lugs like I can with a chamber bush on a rod. Also, consumable cost about 10 times a much as more traditional kit. Actually, as I think about it, I'm realizing I've pretty much supplanted it with boresnakes over the pat couple years.
