[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 2237621, member: 15527"] More information from first hand experience than research and its just what I've found works best, at least for me anyways.... Michael - I just finished building a Ruger 10/22 and added a heavier than normal barrel, that I chambered for the little .17 HM2 and since the barrel is screwed into the receiver, this one will only be cleaned with the Hoppes .17 caliber Bore Snake and I see no reason why or how it would pose any type of a problem. I drilled a cleaning port through my action and drop the trigger mechanism when I get ready to clean the bore and pull the "snake" straight through. Cleaning is straight forward, plain and simple. I do not and will not use a liquid bore cleaner UNLESS there is a bad case of copper fouling. For the most part though, these .17 calibers seem to be pretty good about not getting a lot of copper build up.... DAVID [/QUOTE]
