I was cleaning the 10/22 today. I went through probably 20 patches trying to get the powder and copper out of the barrel. The cleaning session ended with me spilling the bottle of Hoppes all over the table, gun, and carpet. So I break out the Woolite, open the windows and let the place air out, hoping my dad wouldnt notice before he got home. No such luck. So now I sit here in a stinky room with a stained carpet, slick socks, an angry father and brother, and a soaked, half cleaned gun.:banghead:
My questions:
-I was using jacketed ammo in the Ruger. I can't for the life of me get the powder and copper out of the barrel/chamber. I tried wet patches, dry patches, copper brushes, letting it sit with Hoppes in it, and all I get is even MORE gunk coming out. How long/howmany patches should it take to get ohh, 200 rounds worth of copper and powder residue out?
-How do you guys clean your guns? Any special methods that don't take an hour? I know it shouldn't take this long to clean.
-How do I get this stuff out of carpet?
