my 10/22 barrelreciever trigger guard is made of some type of plastic is this the same for all? that one looks just like mine but idk

[RugerFirearms]

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.

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

[RugerFirearms]

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!

[RugerFirearms]

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.

I'm glad to see Ruger putting these videos on youtube for everyone to see.

Thanks for sharing

@Razersun Ideer,lol

[mvrak]

@micpep that was the "flushing the debris from the brush" step, it isn't very clear

[TheDividedby6]

he sounds like Ross

[slowride55]

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?

[micpep]

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.
