[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2240882, member: 116439"] If it's a 22 then it has probably only had lead bullets through it. I have talked with old timers and they would not clean the 22s because there would be a build up of lead in all the imperfection in the lands & groves. They said that barrels would shoot better the older they got. The only thing you should have in the barrel is lead and powder residue. Did you try shooting it before cleaning it and how did it group? Now since you cleaned it how does it shoot? [/QUOTE]
