I had a 10/22 that saw heavy use the last 50 years and was a neglected "ranch rifle" that saw varmint and skunk duty. I noticed it was rusty on the barrel the other day and I realized I had never cleaned it! I used your video to handle that task. Thanks!
One of the all time great guns. And a plethora of mods for it. Easily eats all 22s. The memory's I have of mine. And as you showed easy to take apart and clean a must in a 22.
Just a suggestion, your hands and arms are in the way. Point and explain what you are going to do before blocking the camera. Besides that thank you for the video.
Thank you. It was easier than expected even with a different stock but i was able to tare it down and give it a full cleaning with no issue besides the sharp lip where the C or V clamp goes. It opened my thumb up jut by touching it. But still an amazing video.
Saw a video from "FIRE MOUNTAIN OUTDOORS' in which he got a nylon bolt for about a dollar and fit it to replace the 10/22's metal bolt buffer to quiet it down. Looked interesting and not too hard to do. Said it cushions the slamming against the metal pin that is in there now. May try it out.
Thanks. Whenever I do a gun cleaning video it is because I have been busy and haven't had time to do a more educational video so I just break out a gun and clean it.
I have never personally used either of those, but I believe G96 is more commonly used on firearms then CLP. I use Ballistol because the first 9mm cleaning video I ever watched used it so that is what I bought... haha. But here I am years later still using it. Besides Hickok45 swears by the stuff and he has been using it for decades. But you are right there are other lubricants that work great.
I'm a brand new newbie, learning on my own. I have three thoughts: you've already heard the suggestion to move your hands out of the way. I'm also leery of any cleaning video that doesn't start with checking to see if the firearm is loaded. I think it's obvious, but I'll need to watch another video to be sure I've got that part right. And if you redo the video, can you remove the sight before you start to disassemble it? It was just more visual confusion I had to sort through as I watched.
Yep, If it is really dirty then I have a brush I can use, but I rarely use it. Honestly the point is to just clean the barrel some people say you shouldn't go back and fourth or that you have to use patches, but honestly it doesn't really matter. I use paper towels all day long and never have an issue.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. The forward pin holding in the trigger group comes right out but the rear pin and the pin for the bolt assembly just will NOT come out on mine. II don't have much of a work station. No work bench or anything. I just roll out a mat on the floor and sit. Still, I've given it a decent whack with my punch that I use on the other pin easily enough and neither will move. Maybe If I drip some oil around the area and let it soak over night, maybe it'll get in there....
@@TheLarkinsLair Yeah, I got some help at a gunsmith who clamped it down and even he really had to whack it a few times to get the offending pins loose. They come out easier now that they've been moved. It's strange as I watch some vids on cleaning the 10/22 and just tipping it sideways once it's out of the stock seems to drop the pins for some people but mine are in considerably more tight. I think having them be a bit tight is better than their being loose as that's a good way to lose them but I have ordered some spares just to be safe.
I thought I had seen on the newer 1022s that there was a I think plastic cap that pops off the backside of the top of the receiver .. once that’s out of the way you can remove the bolt and then clean the barrel from the rear… Was I dreaming?
You can clean the mag but don't need to as regularly as you do the gun. Also, I don't need any oil in the magazine. I learned that out the hard way. Putting back together after you take it apart is a hassel. Took me 3 hours.
got to improve your camera angle.... need to see where and what you're doing with part placement. hands and wrists are all you see.(especially on the bolt/spring section which is the trickiest part of take down and put back.
After looking around on some of the firearms forms it sounds like you are not alone. However the best solutions I read about were to take a firearms punch set and hammer and hit the pins out, ensuring that there is a gap below the firearm for the pins to go into. One guy positioned it over a crack in his deck to get the pins out. Maybe one of these forms will help. www.perfectunion.com/threads/new-10-22-receiver-cross-pin-stuck-help.84309/ www.northwestfirearms.com/threads/receiver-pins-stuck-in-10-22.254898/ www.reddit.com/r/1022/comments/13uezg5/cant_disassemble_1022_pins_wont_come_out/ I wish you lived near by, that sounds like a great video to make showing how to get the stuck pins out. Good luck.
Lost me at the pins you popped out that you covered with your hands. Now im sitting here not knowing what im aupposed to push on and nothing wants to come out easy so now i have to blindly hammer on pins that may or may not be what im suppoaed to do. On ti the next shit video i guess

Great cleaning video, right to the point! Thanks & stay safe.
Thanks 👍

Cleaned my 10/22 this morning. Thanks for the video!!!🦾
Great tip on the Extractor. Good job
Thanks 👍

Great tutorial on cleaning the 10/22

Thanks Man ! Needed a refresh been awile👍🏻
No problem 👍
works great, very happy with this product
Great to hear!
Great video straight to the point thank you
Thanks!
Good job. I would recommend always cleaning from the breech of the barrel, but this should help a lot of people out.
Thanks!
5 minutes - everything you need. Was so used to seeing 1/2 hour videos that I refuse to watch. Well done.
Thanks! If you ever notice I get to wordy please let me know. I try to keep it simple, but sometimes I still ramble.
Great vid sir
Thank you. Your video is super simple and easy to understand
Thanks!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Question about lubricants. In some videos I've seen CLP or G96 used. Do you have any experience with these and/or why do you prefer Ballistol?
I have never personally used either of those, but I believe G96 is more commonly used on firearms then CLP. I use Ballistol because the first 9mm cleaning video I ever watched used it so that is what I bought... haha. But here I am years later still using it.

It's just a matter of personal preference.

And if you redo the video, can you remove the sight before you start to disassemble it? It was just more visual confusion I had to sort through as I watched.
Sure thing. My newer cleaning videos have MUCH better lighting. I think I need to re-do this one to make it clearer.
Hmm why did u speed up the barrel cleaning section. 😅
So u don’t use a brush? Just a rod with a patch?
Muzzle to breech and back and forth motion?
Yep, If it is really dirty then I have a brush I can use, but I rarely use it. Honestly the point is to just clean the barrel some people say you shouldn't go back and fourth or that you have to use patches, but honestly it doesn't really matter.

What is the grease you used? Tw25 or something like that?
This is the grease I used: Tetra Gun 004B1I Although I am sure other greases would work without any issues.

No, I am sure you weren't 10/22s have so many accessories I am sure they have something exactly like what you saw to make disassembly a breeze.
That's an 11/22 which is an aftermarket version of the 10/22 chassis.
How about the magazine? Should that be cleaned or oiled? Thankyou
You can clean the mag but don't need to as regularly as you do the gun. Also, I don't need any oil in the magazine. I learned that out the hard way. Putting back together after you take it apart is a hassel. Took me 3 hours.
Yep, clean from time to time. But no oil unless you want a mess. Oil can attract all sorts of grime.

Anyone know why the pins are so hard to take out? I am having many issues taking mine out

does the smell bother you?
Ballistol? No, maybe I have just gotten used to it. But don't get me wrong I am not about to go buy Ballistol air fresheners if such a thing existed.
I saw more of your back of your hand instead of being showed on putting things together on the do hicks or that dude as u say. Need better view.
Yeah, there are parts that I should have done better. Next time I do a cleaning video I will get a better angle. Thanks for the tip.

Sorry man, I now have better lighting. I should re-do this video.
Sorry man, I have better lighting now. I will re-do this video. Although your last sentence is hilarious. Thanks for the 100% honest feedback.
thats the worst video on gun cleaning i have seen
Man, I saw your hand blocked the view of the cleaning process all the time 😂
Yeah, I should probably make an update with my new filming setup, it is much better and you don't see my hand half the time.
