Exactly what I do Josh, try to leave the “good fouling” in the barrel. Only remove carbon ring. If groups open up at a few k rounds, then I scrub entire barrel with nylon brush and start the “good fouling” rebuild process. I’m using Rimfire blend and C4. Normally only C4 unless I’m stripping the whole barrel. Great video. Our tendency is to overclean the barrel, as shooters, which with rimfire we need the good fouling. I also follow the school of thought of not mixing ammo down a barrel. Keep it all Lapua or all Eley. Intermixing causes good fouling issues. I soak a bore mop just as you do by the way, to sit in chamber. C4 does the work.

Thanks Josh!

Great concise and quality video. Thanks for all the great content you give us!

Great video! Teslong was fantastic with a technical issue that I had and not only fixed it, upgraded it. Great company. Thanks Josh!

Excellent video Josh! Salute!

Nicely done!

Great Video as always Josh Thanks Mate.

Hey Josh, I just started using those small squeeze bottles with the long needle like spout for my cleaning fluids and oil for my patches it seems I'm using way less and with the cost of that stuff it helps. I just fill them up from the original bottles I'm trying to remember where I got them to give you a link or part # but they were super cheap and have a real nice cap that goes on the needle tip so they don't leak.

Great Video as always Josh

I have the same Teslong borescope. Besides using while cleaning my firearms I used it to find a water leak under the dash of my Jeep.

Great Video Josh

Thanks Josh

Perfectly done 👍

Appreciate the video. it's reinforced my cleaning technique. only difference between me and you i twist the rod in the chamber vs short stroking it. as always thx and cheers.

Thank you for getting back to me. Just picking up different ammunition but the Eley and Lapua is hard to find most suppliers are out of stock. But did find someone who has a few bricks

Great work buddy clean mine almost identical this routine. More worried about the chamber and any loose debris in the barrel. That usually comes out the the first wet patch.

Thanks josh

Off topic but want to say thanks for showing the Hold Up Display stuff. I got it after watching your video and the stuff is fantastic. Installation is easy.

The process looks pretty easy, but it sure helps to have a nice after market barrel instead of a factory barrel to clean. Nice video!

Thanks for Sharing was pretty much going by your last Vid.on cleaning Gotta love evolution stuff changing constantly solvents have come a long way it’s amazing on the Odorless Strong acting Solvents 🤯

I have got to get one of those monitors. I hate wagging a laptop out to the shop to use my Teslong scope. I have been using the mops on a pistol cleaning rod to soak the chamber area. I also use bore mops to lube the inside of cases when sizing centerfire brass.

Similar process and set up as you. I use the Boretech carbon cleaner first to soak up the carbon ring first then use the thoroflush/clean just to remove the top and loose layer of gunk. Dont get down to metal like I do on my centerfire because my Vudoo does best fouled without a ring.. Loving the new Teslong too, the focus ring in fantastic vs the old set up.

I have been using the thrro clean stuff for a year or so now on my centerfire's.. its the best i have found..

Would love if you would build a list of this stuff you use. I've been totally useless in the office this morning searching the net. LOL. Boretech is out of the bore guides so I've looked all over for another that would work for y 457...any ideas would be helpful. Keep doing what you do man. Love the vids.

Thanks Josh... bore scope is on the list, and I appreciate your approach to efficient effective cleaning. Saves time and money for other things. Do you use the same approach with semi auto's?

Newish shooter > How often do you clean the .22, I’m getting lots of conflicting comments. Usual I shoot every second week and can put anything between 100-200 rounds at a time through it in a session. I’ve been cleaning after every use using your original cleansing video. As always loving the content, your y go to KZfaq video for anything rimfire lol

I shoot 2 ARA matches, one small bore silhouette and one to two NRL22 matches a month. After each, which can be 60-160 rounds I do a very similar cleaning. I hit the bore with two patches of shooters choice and the area just ahead of the chamber with 3 patches wet with BoreTech carbon remover. The carbon remover sits for about 10 min each then I run dry patches. Want the carbon ring down to nothing and try not to hit the seasoning in the bore two hard.

how important is using a bore guide. I have a rpr ive been plinking with and i thinks its about due for a cleaning. Great video by the way

Thank you for (1) Using a Bore Mop. Don't seem to be too many guys that like Bore Mops. Agree to let the Bore Mop sit in the chamber for a while to help soften up gunk and therefore easier to remove the gunk. (2) Agree with use of Nylon Brush instead of Brass Brush. (3) Agree with use of 1 piece Cleaning Rod with Swivel Handle. Keep them vids coming.

Great video ! I'm new to 22 LR, and I learned a lot about your method. What do you think about, or do you have an opinion using the Otis cable method ? Thanks !!!

Hey Josh. Really like your videos. Been following them for a while. Great tip on cleaning. I will try it. But I have a question on long range ammunition. You did a video with you and another fellow shooting 🥚 eggs out to 400 yards. But I can’t remember what ammunition you used? Your thoughts on the centre X and Eley Team for extended range. Just setting up a B14 R steel Picking up different types of ammunition to try. Your input would be appreciated. Cheers.

If you haven't tried a parker hale jag for cleaning the carbon ring I highly recommend trying one. I find it works better than using a mop and I rarely (if ever) need to brush. I just wrap the patch around it, move it around a bit, let the c4 sit for a while and then twirl it a couple times after.

I do the same as you’ve described here except the grease on the lugs. Any particular grease you use? White lithium?

I’d recommend one final step- use Wipe-Out Brushless Bore Cleaner with the optional applicator spout to fill the chamber (it’s like shaving cream) and let it sit overnight at an angle. Even if you do nothing else, that will do wonders to clearing out the fouling in the rest of the barrel to have it shooting its best I’ve heard both Jayden Quinlan at Hornady and Bryan Litz at Berger/Lapua/SK swear by it for the barrels they use for ammo development. I’ve had great results on all of my firearms but I usually follow the instructions to the letter. However I’ve tested this method and seen 90% of the benefit.

How well does the BoreTech 22RF rod do for you in FACTORY CZ457 guns? I know some folks have a hard time with them and the tight CZ bores and end up with 17cal rods just for CZ’s. Also have you run into any ejector interference using the BoreTech on CZ’s?

Can you do a video on what to look for on the numbers that you look for on a conograph

Good info.. How often are you doing a deep clean on the bolt?

I like to use canned air and blow out the Breach area to get any cleaner and lube out at the end

How much time do you wait to push the 2nd patch. After you push the first wet patch

We are suppose to clean them 😂😂😜 jk great video!

Can someone please point me to the source of the non-swivel boretech rod used to brush the chamber. For some reason I cannot find it. Thanks in advance.

I was excited to try this in my centerfire, and disappointed to find the solvent did virtually nothing! The abrasive solution works after using a decent solvent.

Was that the NTG 400H or the NTG450 H i could not find the 400

Josh, i have come to understand thorro clean is an abrasive? (iosso) i have j-b bore paste and have been very reluctant to use it in my match barrel! been using C4 and Rimfire Blend. have you swapped bore tech for thorro clean now? i almost ordered some... would really like to hear your thoughts on abrasives...

What about Hoppes no.9 and Montana gun oil great for centre fires and rim fires Great videos Josh long time subscriber from Ireland 🇮🇪.

I use C4 and a bore mop. I let it sit In the chamber/throat area for about an hour. I use a brass brush rather than a nylon brush. I don't understand why people are afraid of a brass brush. It cannot harm your barrel.

Josh, I live in Texas, I am having a heck of a time finding CZ .22’s. Looking at the CZ 457 At One 24.8” barrel. Seems no one has them…or is there a place you would suggest. I have a dealer I can have it shipped to…

What vice were you using?

Josh are you cleaning the bore mop water use?

My process isn't much different. I do a solid 20min soak of the chamber. Everything else is spot on.

Josh well done 👍 typically how many shots between cleaning?

Is there anything wrong with a bore snake?

You didn’t clean the most important part,the crown?

I have found an effective and efficient solution to bore clean and that is to use a smaller bore brush with the patch wrapped around the copper brush with some old Hoppes Solvent and that gets the bore spotless and the chamber spotless as well. One can use a larger brush and or an extra patch or two and that cleans everything with no metal to metal contact. A wet swab and a couple minutes soak time and the bore will be spotless. Now if one still has an issue one can use a dab of Flitz metal polish on the bore patch and that will remove anything remaining in the bore and then a patch or two with Hoppes Solvent and a couple of dry patches and the bore should be clean. One other thing which can up performance is to dip one's rounds in a lube. Even a molybdenum disulfide, or Teflon or certain other lubes of varying thixatropic properties can improve internal, external and terminal ballistics performance.

So you gotta clean them? 😂😂😂 oops 😂
