How often should I clean it after just shooting in normal conditions? When bought new I broke it down and cleaned and lubricated it. Is it necessary to shoot after every outing?
I don't how wise is the guy but if you look at 1:40 to 1:47 it realy looks like the he is reversing the direction of is brush inside the barrel and that (egal with living powerfull solvent for a long time in the barrel) is the worst thing to do with your rifle.
in order for it to fire again i woulod have to pull the bolt handle back and eject that live round and rechamber a new round, by me manually pulling the bolt handle it would engage the trigger to ready to fire position..it did this everytime, i was not able to fire 2 rounds back to back without me pulling the bolt handle and re-chambering the rifle..what should i do, the gunsmith looked a bit confused..does ruger offer any kind of warranty?? im very dissapointed with the RUGER name..
@Titan9mm called RUGER yesterday and gtreat customer service he sent me shipping label and ups should pick it up today....customer service rep made everything simpnle with no hassle at all, he assured me that they will take a look at it and fix the problem at no cost to me....RUGER company , thnk u
CAN U HELP ME PLEASE..i think i got a defective 10 22..i just got mine about 3 weeks ago and took it to the range today...shot about 50 rounds and worked just fine, but it started jammin every other round..the gunsmith took it apart and detailed cleaned everything aqnd then we used 5 different kinds of ammo and still no luck..i would chaber the 1st round and will shoot fine, the spent shell ejected and new round will automatically chamber itself, but the trigger was not re-engaging...
what is the break in process. I've heard you should clean the barrel after the first round,... 5 rounds,.. 10 and then 20. Is this true? Or can I just should 20 or 30 rounds and clean it later.
Where can I pick up a cleaning rod like that, I've tried looking on the net but nothing like that comes up. I checked my local gun shops and didn't see anything like that either. All i can find are those hoppes bore snakes. Thanks!
We have updated the 10/22 trigger guard group components from die cast aluminum parts to glass-filled polymer. The benefits of polymer are many, including improved impact resistance, an unmatched ability to withstand the elements, and weight savings. The color is incorporated directly into the polymer so the finish will never wear off, plus the heat stabilized, glass filled polymer will withstand impacts that would bend or even break the die cast aluminum parts previously used in Ruger 10/22s.
Some cleaners can affect polymer, but with the popularity of polymer components rising, many companies are now making solvents and cleaners specifically for polymer parts (for example, Shooters Choice has a spray cleaner specifically for polymer). Also, be careful about what solvent you use on aluminum parts as well, as many fast evaporating cleaners will remove the finish on aluminum parts. Always make sure you have the right cleaner for the part!
what is the main reason for cleaning the bore in that direction? Any? When you had the brush on the rod you worked it both ways to flush out debris...Is it not recommended to clean the bore going towards the trigger assembly? and if so why? Thanks Ruger!
All firearm bores should be cleaned from the breech end (the end opposite the muzzle) whenever possible. This minimizes the possibility of damaging the muzzle crown with cleaning tools. The slightest nick in the crown can impart a disturbance to the bullets flight path as it exits the muzzle, hindering accuracy.
If cleaning from the muzzle is absolutely necessary, segmented rods should be avoided. One piece rods (the best are carbon fiber) or snakes (such as used in the video) are preferred.
"...wipe the entire gun down w/ cloth that has been very lightly oiled"
- Why?
He's wiping the outside of the barrel and the muzzle. In my experience, you're going to get crap all stuck to it (dirt, dust, AIDS, etc) and all over your hands.
Oiling the interior AND exterior creates a light barrier that protects the metal from oxidation (rust) that will degrade the look and eventually function of the gun. Even the oils on your fingers can eat away the finish of an un-oiled gun left to sit in storage.
A light coat of oil will attract a bit more dust while not in use, but what would you rather have; a dusty gun or a rusty gun?!
i work for a company called pro shot products.. we just got a contract to make cleaning kits with the Ruger name.. great kits check them out

Appears to be OTIS 200 flexible rod. They come with .25 brush however, but you can get brushes for buck or two on amazon.

i think the polymer trigger group should be an option, some people still prefer the aluminum trigger group. If I wanted polymer I would buy a glock.

Would solvents eat into the plastic or is that not an issue?
