Thread: .22 sporter accuracy

If the bore is fouled, it won't be hard carbon but possibly lead. I wouldn't run with the CLR on a rimfire. I'd probably give it a decent scrub with std solvent and a bronze brush.

Wouldnt bet on it, I've had at least 2 22's with carbon rings that have responded amazingly to a CLR (or proprietary carbon remover if you want to pay $35 plus for a wee bottle of probably the same stuff). I just did a wee Savage on Friday and the amount of black that came out is astounding.
