Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2010 5:09 pm
i recently purchased and anschutz 2013 in an aluminum stock, and wanted to know what i need to get as far as cleaning supplies are concerned, and how i should clean it.
one piece cleaning rod(some people like coated some like stainless steel)
Jags
Bore brushes
bore guide!!!!(this is a MUST)
.22 patches
toothbrush or similar brush
Solvent
Q-Tips
Dental Picks
My cleaning kit that I take to the range contains:
Bore Guide
Kroil
S&W Lubricant and Protectant
Nylon brushes(bore)
A brush
Q-Tips
Dental pick
LOTS of patches
A cloth
Slick 50 one grease
Brownells Friction Defense Gun Oil
The process I use to clean my rifle is this:
1. Take cheekpiece off and remove bolt. Set aside.
2. Remove bloop tube
3. Insert boreguide
4. Push Patch soaked with kroil through bore(cloth under boreguide to catch any drips)X2
5.Remove boreguide and clean the action (w/ Kroil Q-Tips Brush And dental pick)
6. Wipe down bolt body to remove grease and junk
7. Clean bolt face and extractors with brush, pick and Q-Tips
8. Wipe down boreguide and reinsert
9. Push about 5 patches(dry) through bore
10. Remove fouling from muzzle with cloth/kroil
11. relube (light coating of grease on all rubbing parts) bolt. Followed by a drop or two of Oil
12. reinsert bolt
13. Coat all steel parts with kroil to prevent rust (very light)
14. Pack away
I do that after every match I shoot. And every 1000 rounds i will use a brush and more intense cleaning solvents to get the bore really clean.
I keep my cleaning kit in a Plano case from walmart. I got it in the fishing section and its 11x7x1.75. It has removable deviders that come with it.
I will try to post a few pics soon.
