Awesome video, clear and to the point. For anyone strugglinh with putting back the bolt and charging handle, I found that the trick is to use both hands to pull the handle back against the spring, then retain it with your index in a hook and your thumb pressing against the back of the receiver. Then put in the bolt, gently wiggle the handle while pressing down on the bolt, it should snap right in place

I just got my first 10/22 yesterday and went straight to the range and put over 200 rounds through it. I cleaned it right away but it's still cool to see how a more experienced guy does it.

Good video, I really liked how you skipped the repetitive parts with the bore cleaning and stuck to the meat and potatoes but didn't leave any steps out, very well done, thanks.

Finally! A simple, straightforward, well-lit video. Thanks.

Never seen anyone assemble a bolt so smoothly. I can't do it and it's taken me 15-20 minutes before. I ended up by the Gunsmither Bolt Bar which made things so easy. However, this guy did it slightly faster than I can using the tool.

Just wanted to drop a quick note to say "Thanks!" for making this video! Today was my first time taking apart a 10-22 after running several rounds through it this week! Great angles and tips for reassembly! Worked perfectly! Thanks!

Todd, new to your channel. Looking for all things 10/22 for the new season. Your cleaning video is the best that I've seen. No history lesson, no fluff, no blah, blah, blah, just the facts ma'am. Keep up the great work!!!

Thank you. Just bought a 10/22 last week and this was my first step to gaining knowledge about it. Gun safety includes disassemble, cleaning, reassemble and learning to fire properly.

I brought my 22 to work to clean it but forgot the manual. You saved my day with this video

Very well done comprehensive video that shows the step by step process to take apart, clean and reassemble a Ruger 10/22. I found this video after taking my rifle apart and then ran into a bit of trouble putting the charging handle and carrier back together. After watching how the author does it ( a few times) I was able to put mine back together.

Would be nice to show the lube points for people who don’t use all in one cleaners but great video thanks

Thanks for the close up on reinstalling the bolt.

Excellent video, I just bought one and shot about 500 rounds. Really nice gun. Thanks for a very easy to understand tutorial!

Just cleaned mine. Now it's smooth like butter

Lollol I thought those sounds in the background was a wave machine at first but now I’m realizing that it’s gun fire 😂

Just wanted to say that was a great video! I'm purchasing a 10/22 tomorrow. And was curious about cleaning and maintenance. Thank you.

Great Video . Getting right down to it . No excessive talking . This is how a instructional video should be . Awesome . 2 thumbs up 👍🏼.

I have a 1022 from 2012. I hadn't cleaned the firing pin yet. It happens that it got stuck due to the accumulation of dirt crust. It only started working again after a lot of brushing with a brass brush. With the lock, it prevented the rear part of the cartridge from rising completely onto the bolt, locking the cartridge half out of the chamber. Periodic cleaning of the bolt, at least every 200 shots, seems like a good idea.

cool video...i got myself a bore snake the other day for my ruger 10/22 and my AR15...it works great...but i do recommend just getting a HUGE bag of Q-Tips for cleaning intricate places, because you can get a fresh one every time for 100s of cleanings and it wont cost you more than a few bucks

Just got my first 10/22.Thanks for a very good video👍👌

Excellent video! I have many 10/22's and love them all. I ordered one of the contest winners last week and it should be here any day. Thanks!

Still very helpful after all these years. Thanks

This video just shows you how to disassemble and reassemble the rifle. As far as cleaning goes, everyone who owns one of these rifles has their own idea of cleaning it

Nice video but aren't you suppose to pull the Bore Snake out through the muzzle, not pull it back and forth? And it is always best to not shove anything back into the "crown" of the barrel.

"Remember, a clean gun, is a happy gun....happy shootin". Nice, thanks!

You just got my sub for the bob ross vibes. 👌🏼 my 10/22 wasn’t extracting so I needed this.

Excellent camera placement makes this a great video.

this is another reason you should buy a 10/22 because of the easy take down and assembly this gun is a dream to own

Very nice video overall, offering a lot of reassurance for a newbie to gun disassembly and cleaning. Two points I got hung up on: where the charging handle fits against (it’s barely visible for a second in the video, as to it not being flush against the rear. And why the bolt would not move forward after dropping it into place (it wasn’t quite flush and was protruding a teeny bit on one side. Beyond those two points which occupied about 20 minutes of time to play and re-play several times the video sections, it went very smoothly. Thank you.

Great video. Quick, simple and to the point. Can't wait to clean 10/22.

So much easier than a Marlin 60. Lost my disconnector spring today. Finally biting the bullet for a 10/22 backpacker. Love my Marlin, but she's too picky on food, and losing a piece of her while cleaning was the last straw.

Great video for cleaning Ruger 10-22 !Thanks My Friend 💥💥🇺🇸🏴🐺

A clean gun is a happy gun . I keep them bolts and barrels all polished . I have to keep them super clean .

Excellent video, clear, concise. Well done.

Very helpful. You did a great job on the Reassembly as the video was very clear and easy to follow. Thanks man!

Thanks man. Don't have mussel brake but mine is 'Real Tree' camo'd out with bi pod. Mussel brake on old tac-ta-1022, interesting 🤔

I Dremel polished the bolt and inside of the receiver. The action is like glass now and zero FTF/FTE even when using lousy ammo. I also clean the feed lips of the magazine which gets pretty fouled up, too.

Excellent instructional video on how to clean this gun . Thanks .

My first gun and the first one I took apart as a teenager. Back then there wasn't the luxury of KZfaq! Great gun too. Still have it.

Excellent video. Thanks so much.

Had my 10/22 for 12 years. Still shoots like day 1. I do a full break down and clean about every 500 rounds. I clean tge barrel and boltface and out side everytime i shoot. Best 22 on the market. Its been copied.

Perfect. Very detailed. Thank you!

Thanks for providing this video! Very helpful!

Definitely recommend as u did, if possible, leave the barrel on in place as lining up the extractor to the grove in the barrel can be tricky,but not much reason to take barrel off with bore snake!

Love the video. Love the use of rare Jesus Lizard (Wheelchair Epidemic) in the intro. I used to have that track on ‘45. Remember those? I do hate cleaning my 10/22 though. Replacing the bolt assembly is hard on my hands and I have scratched the bluing around the ejection port struggling with it. Takes a lot of the fun out of shooting the rifle for me, unfortunately.

Video was well done, its better than the videos from those big name companies, Keep up the good work.

My spring is super stiff Video made I look so easy

Nice looking rifle. I threw away the plastic stock that came with my SS 10/22 and put a Hogue on it. Looks a bit like yours. Anyhoo... Thanks for the instructions; I've not yet cleaned mine after a couple light uses.

Thanks for your help

If you look you will find about 20 cases of using a bore snake on a .33 rifle and you pull it all the way through so you don't bring the dirt it has picked up on the front end of the snake back into the bore. . Actually they are made to be pulled all the way through, even what looks like a handle.

Good thing you've got that muzzle brake for the monstrous recoil on that bad boy ;) :P Just bought a 10/22 and really enjoying it. Nice to see how they come apart. Might to a little video myself on my cleaning regimen once I need to do that on my 10/22. Nice work :)

Thank you! the video was great for a beginner like me

Just bought this gun yesterday. Thanks for the video, I will attempt to disassemble and clean before heading out to range tomorrow. So no rem oil required? The ballistol takes the place of rem oil?

You can get by with a simple cleaning kit. I prefer adding polymer picks, several brush sizes and options,a magnetic parts tray $2 from harbor freight and worth its weight in gold. Not only does it save lost parts, it can double as a retrieval tool. Lost that tiny spring in the carpet? Just use the magnet to “sweep” over the area and it’ll jump out of obscurity. If you have the option an air compressor or canned air is a wonderful addition to any cleaning station. There are places the air forces lube in and grime out. An ultrasonic cleaner is another invaluable addition. Sealing small parts and some cleaning solution in a freezer bag (or better using a vacuum sealer) then submerging it in the USC is the way to go. The silicon cloth end step is freaking amazing. Those are the tits

You started the video with a Jesus lizard song. Badass

Good video,very well explained. Thanks '

Good detail video

Thanks for the video. Highly instructional and well done. Much appreciated.

Dam,cool,ruger

Great video

I just bought a new 10 22 I'm going to purchase some ballistol and give it a good cleaning and put the new auto slide lock part in.

Very nice presentation. But don’t forget the magazine.

Thanks for a very good cleaning vid.

Excellent, thanks!

has anyone ever drilled a .250 hole in the back of the receiver for pushing a ramrod down the barrel?

Best video. Very helpful and descriptive. Thanks for helping me clean my first gun for the first time. :)

Love me a good 10/22.

I like that stock.

Creo que Se debe extraer percutor y limpiar correctamente con algún hopes o similar

THAT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE BROTHER.

Thanks for the video, it helped a lot!! you did a great job!

Thank You Sir

Very nicely explained . Great video Thanks

Excellent video sir,take care.

great video, no BS straight to the point.

Great presentation. Thanks.

Very helpful. Thanks.

Excellent video!

quick and to the point - outstanding! thanks

Since you had the 10/22 apart, why didn't you drill the cleaning rod hole in the back of the receiver ? Simple and makes using a cleaning rod very practical. They make a jig to drill it, but just sliding a cleaning rod down the barrel and marking where it hits, then drill a 5/16ths hole. Not a fan of bore snakes unless it's just a quick cleaning when on a trip.

I was under the impression a barrel rod or boresnake should only be pulled one way (away from the breach), Is it wise to go both ways with it?

I let eveything soak in CLP for a few hours then detach the barrel from the receiver and insert a cleaning rod from the bolt end. This is a fantastic firearm.

Just bought a ruger 10/22 LR. How often should I be cleaning it? I've owned it for a week but have already put 500+ rounds through the gun

Well done!

What exactly does the biggest of the 3 pins hold? Doesnt seem to go through anything in the firing group area

Muzzle brake with a gun that has no recoil

Thankyou for a great video. Straight forward, not a bunch of extra talking and B.S. to drag the video out.

Thanks for the vid. It helped alot.

i do the same u do, exept cleaning the barrel. 22lr got grease at the tip for a reason. when i clean the barrel, it takes 2-300 shots to get my old accuracy back. just a tip, i only clean the barrel every 2 years or so.

Why would you have a muzzle break on a 10/22?????

I noticed one of my “pins” is missing (the big one). Where can I buy a new one?

Very good, quality video.

Very helpful. Thanks!

A clean gun is a happy gun Lol thanks for the guide bro.

hey man i have a 10/22 collectors, do you have any problems with the front sight? mine seems to come loose and fall off alot

Awesome video!

Good video thanks.

The third and biggest pin on my 22 won’t come out. I think they glued it in or something. This means that I can’t take the bolt out because it won’t slide back the whole way. What should I do?

When. You say keep the ejector in it's proper spot... What is the proper spot?

"Very easy guns to work with" meanwhile this is the hardest gun ive ever taken apart because the physics wont let me slide it back with the recoil spring positioned how it is
