Picked up my first gun just a couple weeks ago, a Ruger 10/22. Put about 300 rounds through it at my buddy’s house at his range.
Reading a lot online about cleaning a gun. How often? What should be cleaned? What products to use? Full disassembly or quick cleaning, etc.
Ive seen responses all across the spectrum. Clean it after every use. What it needs to be cleaned? After every 500 rounds. Once the action gets gummed up.
Then there is products. Bore snake, cotton patches, oil, etc. I have a Ruger gun cleaning kit but not sure what I should be using and when.
Interested to hear some more experienced people’s ideas and suggestions. Thanks!
