I'm with desidog. I have a Marlin model 60 and an old Savage semi auto that rarely get cleaned. They just don't seem to need it. I have shot the Marlin up until the point that the action noticeably slows down and have just shot a bit of CLP in the action and kept shooting it. Same for the Savage. Of course they get cleaned soon after that. My Marlin 882ss gets cleaned sporadically, as well. They just don't seem to need it. Modern .22 ammo is not corrosive and the guns are so reliable that they don't need it after 200 rounds. And as you can see by my profile, the Marlins are two of my favorite guns.
The semi .22LRs get fed a steady diet of whatever bulk junk I can find. The .22 mag gets CCI for the most part. All of them are about as accurate as it gets even when filthy, especially the Marlins.
