This is NOT aimed at anyone person so please don;t take it that way.

Why is it that when some people get a new gun - Rifle . Handgun or shotgun the first thing they do is wipe down the outside and start shooting , The next thing is my gun will not cycle , my run will not group , my gun will not eject .

The reason i bring this up is my friend just came by to see if i could fix his new 10/22 , Would not elect empty casses .

You would not beleave the junk still in this rifle , it will take a 1/2 can of break cleaner and a brush to get it all. :eek: :eek:

I feel better now , Do gun makers need to add a sheet with very big letters saying CLEAN ME or what

stimpylu32, I agree withyou, but one of the last NEF, I bought
Look like the gun had cleaned it up pretty good, Most I have got was bad.
My 2 cents Marv.

My two handi rifles were pretty good I thought. No matter if I bought a rifle, shotgun ect I always went through them good and while I was at it I cleaned them.

I followed the words from all y'all. Brake parts cleaner and compressed air and just a touch of lube to keep the rust out. Also remembered to dry patch before heading out. All was fine. Must have missed a bit of oil on my Tracker I barrel because it hung up ejecting after a couple shells. A shot of Lock eze and a couple good puffs of air and that was fixed. Thanks to all of you, I knew where to look, what to look for and how to fix it, when that shell didn't eject.
I guess some guys just don't get it.

These are people who probaby don't worry much about headspacing or cosmoline either.
