[snipers eye]

hi folks,just bought a new cz 457 16 inch synthetic .22 lr,i know cleaning the 22 topic has been done to death,some do some dont etc,ive also heard about carbon ring,id like to, as im sure all others would,to keep the 22 in the best condition i can,so just some advice would be welcome, 1,do i need to be concerned about this carbon ring? 2,what cleaning solvents are you guys using,and how often would i need to clean/use the solvents?im not into targets,just hunting,so would be maybe going through 50-100 rounds a week aprox,i did not do the new barrel break in thing  that i read about,took about 10 rounds to zero in,im getting 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards with eley subs,so very happy indeed,thanks for any advice

Hello, When i bought my CZ 455 22 i gave the barrel a good clean, tried 4 types of Ammo with and barrel clean between, found best one RWS and never clean barrel now, note, these RWS subs have a waxy film i clean off with white spirit before using so there is no cleaning of breach

Up to 20% of Eley subs will misfire in my BRNO2e. All other makes never fail.

I have an old cz brno mod 2  its over 40 years old and shoots like a dream i am using CCI 40grn segmented subsonic ammo and i only clean the barrel once a year

i use mine for plinking/target and hunting and after every session unless its only a few shots ill use an old toothbrush sprayed with a little legia or other all in 1 gun spray and clean the chamber face, bolt face and magazine feed ramp and lips  just to remove the carbon crud before it goes hard, barrel gets a good scrub every year or 18 months and the mod gets taken off stripped and cleaned or if im putting a new scope or changing ammunition that will require a rezero.

scrubbing the barrel often just removes the "leading" and then the rifle needs to fire another 10 or 15 rounds to get back to accurate.

20% of any Eley misfires in my elderly, but extremely accurate still, 22 target rifle. RWS is all good.
