Tip for those using wooden stocks like the Varmint MTR - put a big piece of plastic under the bore guide to protect your wood from the inevitable spill as it will discolor your stock 😢 Tip 2 - teslong wifi version is cheaper and works with your phone as the screen/recording device

Great cleaning tips Josh, I like Iosso nylon brushes, and I follow up when I am done with a patch with a light coat of Lock Ease, a ultra thin graphited fluid

Thank You Sir! This is the first time I noticed the aluminum jag. Once, you mentioned cleaning/storing the nylon brush in a jar of rimfire blend. 👍🇺🇸

Went to the range today to get some DOPE for my 457 LRP using SK LRM ammo. Thought I was going crazy, rifle was shooting .2" groups just 2 weeks ago with the same ammo and today it was horrible and flying all over the place. I then remembered that the kids must have shot 500 rounds of cci sv with it over the weekend, had a proper carbon ring. Gave it a nice cleaning, after 10 odd rounds of SK all is back to normal

Great video Josh. That is a great way to clean your barrel and chamber, well done Josh.

Great post. Very interesting to me. I recently purchased a bore scope and can echo your results. Much more confidence in my bore maintenance. Thanks and Blessings

Great video. Love the BoreTech bore guides.

Another really informative and useful video. The trouble is once again you have me digging into the retirement savings for a bore scope. I just purchased a 10/22 from Gunbroker that has been worked by Connecticut Precision Chambering and I would definitely like to have the scope before it gets here plus I probably should have one for my other .22s that you have talked me into.

I am excited to see Cyclops Joe react to you working that cleaning rod. Great video, as always.

Great vid, I’ve never used a brush on a RF ever and I’m an old guy, I just purchased nylon brushes for the chambers only. I always patched out at the end of a session, before the fouling/carbon has a chance to set up. Easier to take care of business while the barrel is still warm.

Great video, Josh!

Thanks for the tips Josh....much appreciated. Cheers Tony Melb Aust

Great tutorial thank you for sharing. I like the aluminum chamfered jags have to get online to try and find some.

Thanks for sharing just what I was looking for.

Boretech makes some killer cleaning products. I use their rimfire blend and if things get really stubborn, I put an earplug in the muzzle and fill the bore with it. Let it stand a day or two, or three and you can usually just push the funk out with patches.

Great video short and to the point

Thanks for the Tips, Josh !!!!!!!!!!!

Great video, and thank you for sharing

Nice video, I will have to try boretek products. Love the shooter's lube,great stuff ! 👍

Josh, your videos are great! How do you clean your Kidd Supergrade when you don't want to take it apart? Thanks.

Great cleaning how to!

Looking good man

That wall is looking sick brother!!

GREAT VIDEO JOSH...!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND A GREAT VIDEO ..... !!!!!!! HAVE A BLESSED DAY ... !!!!!!! I CAN SEE YOUR HAVING A GREAT DAY ...? ? ? NOT HAVING TO PUT UP WITH "" CHRIS "" ???? LOL ....!!!!! LOVE Y'ALL ...!!!!! DOUBLE G. HERE .. GARY .... !!!!!!!!!

I have a cleaning regimen that works for my conditions. Just spray oil on everything. Silicone oil on rubber parts if there are any and run a bore snake or patch…. 😁 it’s the crude way as the tropical wet humid rainy conditions where I live are hard even on stainless steel specially when I hunt near the coast were you could taste and smell the salty air even from a distance from the shore. 😁 enjoyed watching your vid though and if I were to properly clean one of my display trophy rigs which I hardly use for hunting…this would be a go to video.

I use C4 and a .22 bore mop first. Run it down the bore and then let it sit in the carbon ring/chamber area for an hour or so. Follow it up with a , gasp, bronze bore brush. Push felt pellets through the bore until they come out clean. I also use a carbon fiber one piece rod. Don't forget to clean the rod itself. BTW this is not the same C4 we used to heat up our C-Rations.

Great video! Thank you for sharing your cleaning method. At what shot interval do clean, number of rounds or diminishing accuracy? Wish you would have run the borescope before and after though. Thank you again.

Hey is that jag the proof positive model? I don't see just aluminum..just brass and the proof positive. Thanks man!

Nice video, thanks. Would like to see the same thing on the MTR barrel with a couple hundred rounds through it. Cleaning a higher quality barrel is not the same as a “factory” barrel. Seems I always have to resort to Bore Shine and a lot of scrubbing with a brass brush to get the carbon out of the grooves.

Another great video! Do you prefer the Teslong Rod or do you think the cable camera may have additional advantages...not including counter-terrorism room breaching!

Good stuff 👍 . I have always used bronze brushes for my 22 rimfire. Maybe it’s time to start using nylon brushes from now on , they do just as good a job as bronze brushes by the looks of things.

Great cleaning tips!! Will be watching this next time I need to clean. I just purchased a cz457 and was wondering if you have a certain break in procedure for a brand new rifle? I have not shot mine yet and have been looking on Google on what people do with there new rifles. A video or a short would be awesome to let people know how you break in a new CZ. Thanks again for the awesome videos!!!!

Aluminum jags i will pick up. Great tips. Im totally against brass brushes on rimfire rifles. Yes brass is softer than steel but steel extractors still wear on brass casings. The lands cut in the barrel are very fine and hold your accuracy. Brass brushes add 1000’s of rounds of wear for no reason. Nylon bends in the face of any metal and it a much safer choice.

I have to quit watching your videos, Josh! They are costing me! But... thank you for the advice that I have utilized: 1) 457 MTR; 2) bore scope; 3) Bore Tech carbon removal; Bore Tech jag; nylon brushes (can't go wrong, right?). AND... I received the hat; nice looking and to the point... "Pursuit of Accuracy." Further, I did not realize that getting a clean patch out of the barrel meant that the "hard, unsoftened" carbon ring was guaranteed to have been removed (thus, as you advised... a bore scope). Upon realization of that fact, I have changed my cleaning procedure to match the one that you shared in this video.

Good video

Do you clean your brass and nylon brushes? How long will you use the boremop? Do you clean it after each use or just throw away when overly dirty?

Great cleaning how to! I need to invest in a bore scope.

Wipe down & lube the bolt?

nice!

What is your thoughts on a 22 cal boresnake after each session until 4-500 rounds down the tube before Carbon cleaning? Or do you suggest a different clean cycle? I know it depends on the system and that varies do asking in general terms.

Can you point me in the right direction? I'm trying to find a bore guide for my BRNO model 4 22 cal rifle not having much luck finding anything...thanks !!

can't find those jags anywhere. A link would be great. Good video.

Is there an issue with boresnakes? or are they just not as good. I've been using them on my 22s for years, but I just picked up a b22 precision and am wondering if I shouldn't be using a boresnake on a nicer gun

Great video. As an old codger I am learning to respect your advice (wisdom) if I want to shoot a rifle with better groupings. One BIG question I have is your feelings on NEW barrel break-in process. I have seen mixed reviews and was wondering what your feelings are. If you have it on one of your videos, I have not watched but would like to know which one. Your help is greatly appreciated. K.

I enjoy your videos Josh ! I’m about to order a bore tech guide for my Vudoo 360. Just wondering if you have had a chance to see or use the bore guide that Battle Engineering is making. If so what are your thoughts on it compared to the bore tech guide ?

Good video!! Wich oil do you recommend after clean it? Do you recommend use oil after day shooting?And remove after new day? Thanks !

Can you recommend a bore guide for a 22

Is that a .17 or a .20 cal cleaning rod?

Thanks for the video, Josh. Don't let Jon and Jon see you clean those barrels without covering the Tract. Heaven forbid you slop something on the lens.... I love Tract scopes also. I also use the bore Tech stuff. Their copper cleaner works great for the center fire barrels. Seems your Lilja barrels are easier to clean than my stock barrel. Just takes forever and the patches never come out total clean. So I just run some Ballistol patches to get the main crud out between real cleanings like you demonstrate here. Removal of the carbon ring is the most important part of the process.

Hey Josh, will the Boretech 22 cal cleaning rod pass through your Kidd and Lilja barrels easily? I have a Dewey 22 cal coated rod and it won't make it thru my Kidd, and it is snug in my Lilja. I had to go to 17 cal rods that I don't like at all.

JOSH , Which bore tech rod are you using to clean the chamber? Could not find a short fixed black handle rod on their site.

Quick question if I may? Do you clean after every shoot or after a certain number of rounds? And if you're not going to clean a gun, say if you only put 50 rounds through it, is it safe to leave until the next shoot in terms of the barrel not being protected but that light coat of oil?

went to clean my 457 and was surprised how much gunk was on the receiver area... idk if its lead or carbon.. little specs in every crevice. and hard to get them out too with the scope in the way

👍👍

Hey Josh, what is that between your foreend and the table,.. ?? ARCA / pic rail, with suction mount, etc,.. ?? Thanks..!!

Same steps/products, however I clean the chamber first.

Josh - how do you handle a carbon ring with 10/22? Feed the rod though first then attach a mop with C4 and pull the mop into chamber to let it soak?

Great video, do you have the model or a link to the bore scope you used please?

I agree with @joed3264 on the felt pellets. If you are not using the VFG pellets you really are just trying to do it the hard way. Also have to say the melonite cleaning rod from KSS in .187 with a bore guide made for your specific action is the smart choice, if you have a good barrel.

Curious, that Aluminum bore jag, is it still being sold? I can seem to find it on their site. Thanks

How about using bore polish (grit) after a deep clean??

M CZ457mtr manners are set up exactly like yours, Lijia bbl, timnvy trigger, Tract scope 30 mil rail, Lapua osp .29 or better at 50 and .38 at 100 I don't think there could be much that more add-ons will make this rifle more more constantly accurate. Gummy Bears at 100, eggs at 200, and tomatoes at 300

Hallo Josh.. Valuable info.. Thank you very much.. What type of bore guide are you using? Appreciate your answer.. Regards

Do you have a link to the borescope you use for rimfire?

Are bore mops single-use or re-usable. Thanks!

Do you find that the ejector on the CZ damages your rod?

Will it harm to over clean ? . nice video bore scopes that's another cost

Came back to take notes

I am running an experiment since October...I am NOT cleaning my CZs (I normally clean every 100-200 rounds when casually shooting and every 25 rounds when shooting for score. I just want to see what happens...so NO cleaning for a few more months. I am up to about 2000 rounds on each rifle...and I can't REALLY tell because All my shooting has been cold weather...

When are you planning on doing more with the Kidd rifle?

my pistol had a lead ring at the chamber so thick, you couldn't even see the ends of the rifling

Great video! i recently put a MTR barrel on my 457. i use a one piece stainless steel rod. it was fine in other 22's but it's tight in the MTR barrel, so much so its scoring the rod!!! (hope i didnt damage the bore?) some say use a 20 cal rod? pretty hard to come by... any suggestions? bore tech rods are hard to find up here... any help is Greatly appreciated!!!!)

Ever measured cases by rim thickness?

What's the bore guide you use?

What brand bore scope are you using?

how about some Tshirts again. My first ones with the logo on the back and small logo intthe front. Black and oD=OD? The design on the back of both shirts havvd pealed off with 5 inside out washings in cold water. They were a lot of $$$ to have failed so soon. What's up with that?🤐

That's pretty much what I do.

How often do you Clean.

👀

First in.

What are you looking at above the camera lens? Very distracting
