10-22 Cleaning Hole

[RedApe]

Maybe not really a good idea when you have a Bentz match chamber on a good barrel.

EX

if your using expensive parts, I can guarantee you won't be drilling a "cleaning hole" in the back of it

oh one other very good reason for doing this. IT's an upgrade so it makes the gun worth 3 times as much when sold used.

Au contraire!!! I have a full Kidd setup, the only "stock" part is the receiver and I bought the tool to do just that. Rather than remove the barrel to clean from breach each time. Everyone has an opinion about cleaning .22's, do as you wish and in my case that is keeping the whole thing spotless.

I did it to one of my 10 22 s, simple to do and can run a rod from the breach, when action is back in the stock you cant see the hole. If you do it dont drill too big of hole and get it in the right place.

Many non Ruger receivers come with the cleaning hole from the factory. My DAR-22 receiver has it and I find it useful as I like to clean with a rod (old habits die hard). I have not drilled my Ruger receivers, and to be honest I clean them from the **GASP** muzzle end.

I use a Patchworm for all of my .22s and air rifles. Cheap and works great. Just a thought!

You will do more harm to a .22 barrel cleaning it then you ever will from shooting it

Um... so, when you take the barrel off to clean it from the breech, it shoots the same zero every time you reinstall it?

Sure, I guess if you're using iron sights because they're on the barrel, but the scope mounts to the receiver, and I rather doubt it goes back EXACTLY to the same point every time you re and re the barrel.

I've drilled out the receiver in 3 different 10-22s. If you're cleaning it, you take the bolt out anyway, so it's a piece o cake to slide a rod in through the receiver, and you don't chew up the muzzle by dragging the bore-snake through off centre...

And... I only clean the 10-22 when it stops cycling well because of the fouling.
