I like to clean guns...

My wife has a cousin that bought a 722 Rem, in 222 in 1960. He put a K-8 Weaver on it and put it in his truck. It staied there untill the late 1990`s and he would kill over 200 groundhogs a year with it. In the late 90`s I ask him how many groundhogs he had and he told me his gun was shot out. I`ve never seen a 222 that was shot out and brought his rifle home with me. I ran 50 patchs of Sweets 7.62 through the bore and number 50 was just as blue as number 1. Since I was tired of cleaning I took it out and fire it. I put 5 rounds in at about .600 at 100 yrds. So I cleaned up the gun, put a coat of finish on the stock and took it back to him. I figured in another 30 years I would finish the cleaning and redo the stock again.
