Cleaning your 22

RE: Cleaning your 22
I would assume using a brass brush attachment for your cleaning rod would do the trick. However, I have only shot between 200 and 300 roundsthrough my .22 and I show no signs of lead buildup.
I only use RemOil when I clean mine. But, as stated, there is no signs of lead buildup either.

Try Hoppes lead remover. Swab it back and forth a few times and let it soak overnight. Cut a few strands from a copper 'ChoreBoy' scouring pad. Wrap it around the swab and stroke it through a few times. The copper will cut the softened lead but will not hurt the barrel. Repeat as necessary. If it's really leaded, it may take a few overnight soaks.
There are some copper plated steel scouring pads that WILL scratch the barrel. Make sure its the copper ChoreBoy.
