I have a Marlin 60
It's a .22 Long Rifle semi-automatic (called self-loading by Marlin) rifle. It has the tubular magazine underneath the barrel.
I was just curious how I should go about cleaning this thing. I can take it apart, off of the wooden stock, but the barrel and entire action, etc. all come off in one piece. Gunk seems to build up all inside, everywhere, and I can't really think of a way to clean this all out. It looks a bit complex to actually take all the way apart.
Is there some way to dunk the whole assembly in something, that would make it all clean? I have cleaned it as much as I could with Breakfree CLP, and it seems to have smoothed it up a little bit, but when I rack the slide area, it still feels a little gritty.
Thank you very much.
