I recently bought a 10/22 in which the entire barrel is an integral unit. I'm curious as to how to clean the inside of it. It doesn't dissamble, obviously. The dealer said it didn't need to be cleaned. I don't buy that. I'm meticulous about cleaning my guns, and if there is lead fouling and powder residue building up in any part of a gun that I own, then I want to be able to get it out! I was thinking that I could remove the barrel, seal one end of it, place it in an upright position with the sealed end down and then fill it up with a solution and allow that to soak and free everything up, then drain it and blow it out with an air nozzel hooked to a strong compressor. I know that half mineral spirits and half transmission fluid is a popular suppressor cleaning solvent. Would this be ok to use for my application? Does this solution lubricate also? Is this the right way to clean it? What do you guys do to clean your integral units? Thanx.
