22. calibers

[Rocky Raab]

THE best cleaner/solvent/lube I have EVER found for 22 semi-autos is a product called CorrosionX.

Clean the gun well, spritz in some CorrosionX and let it dry completely. Afterwards, almost ALL ash, wax, lube and burned crud just falls off and out of the action like magic. A short squirt every thousand rounds ever after is plenty.

Lacking that, clean well with regular bore solvent, but do NOT lube the action. Bullet lube/wax is more than enough to keep the gun running well. It gets blown everywhere, don't worry!

Sometimes us ol dogs do learn new tricks. I just picked up another Nylon 77(no mag)for 25 bucks but it sure do be a bit...ugly shall we say. I'll try some of that stuff and try finding a mag. Might be able to make her run.

Have one of those 'ugly' guns myself!

As for ammo, I've had good luck in all my rimfires using CCI minimag HP ammo. Also had good luck with the Federal American Eagle ammo (as far as accuracy), but lately that stuff seems to be dirtier and leaving more residue than I remember.
Either way, I've stocked up on .22 rimfire ammo from both manufacturers......getting harder and harder to come byANY .22 rimfire ammo anymore, let alone the brand that you want to purchase.

.....um.....what creek was it that you dumped that ammo in?

I was just lookin at the shelves in my vault. Gotta put a little bracing under a couple of 'em. I happen to have about 8000 rounds of 22 ammo. A whole lot of it I got at yard sales and estate & farm auctions. Even have some 22 WRF and maybe a 1000 22 mags. Have been looking in the stores and the 100 packs of 22 LR are going for 6-8 bucks. Holy crapo!! And there really isn't a whole lot of them. Can't figure it out. Am the gummit trying to un-ammunitionize us or sumpin?? I was at Wally World while momma was grocery shoppin and I have more ammo than that store has....including shotshell stuff. Hopefully if the gummit isn't behind it the whole mess will fix itself. People are selling primers on Gunbroker for up to 80 bucks per M...plus shipping. Sheesh! I just bought a whole bunch and when I went to sell 'em for a normal profit I had one guy wanted to buy 'em all...and I had 100M. I let him buy 2M. He almost didn't get them as he acted all bent out of shape. I kept 2000 of each and sold the rest for an average of 32 bucks a 1000. Took a whole day to do it too. People are really going a bit nutz on this reloading stuff. Going to a gun show at the end of the month in Central Wy and there is a guy there that sells magazines for most everything. Maybe I'll get one there. If not I'll do Gun parts. Thanks for the link What I'd like to do is find one of the Nylon lever actions...and I don't know why
