You Would Have Lost

[Donny Fenn1]

I love my CZ/BRNOs they seem to accumulate overtime and then I have purge to make space. It's the rifle I recommend to everyone that asks for a good 22. My first rifle was a Remington 513 Targetmaster that sat in the back of the safe for years because I couldn't find a scope to fit the rings. When I finally found one last year, color me shocked that the old Remington shot as good or better than most of my BRNOs.

For getting the lead out I use a peened 36" 3/16" 309 or 316 stainless steel rod. Light hammer strikes flares the end and it scrapes the lead out quite easily. It has not affected accuracy of the pistols or rifles at all. Then I use bore cleaners to get the final lead out. The rod just gets the worst of it out. I created it to clean a revolver that leaded really quickly. Like looking down and seeing no lands and groves after 50 rounds. Went with harder lead and solved that issue.

I was having a problem getting the lead out of a revolver. I found that the Chor Boy strands wrapped on a brush scraped it out quite well. I also discovered that if I wipe the barrel with Kroil (penetrating oil) and left it over night, the next day the lead came right out. The oil "lifted" it.
