Cleaning the T/C 22 LR Classic
Always make sure that the safety is “ON” and that the chamber is empty,
and the magazine has been removed from the rifle before attempting to
clean your 22 LR Classic rifle. Working on a loaded rifle could result in an
accidental discharge. AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE CAN RESULT IN
INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS, AND
DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
Normal cleaning of the T/C 22 LR Classic rifle requires opening the action
(pulling the bolt rearward with an empty magazine in place so that it locks rear-
ward by the bolt stop). Put the safety “ON”, remove the magazine, and run a
few patches saturated with any high-grade gun cleaning solvent through the
bore, from the muzzle end. Use of a bronze bore brush may be necessary peri-
odically to eliminate leading. When running anything through the bore from the
muzzle end, care should be taken to avoid unnecessary contact between the
cleaning rod and the crown of the muzzle. In fact, it is a good idea to use a bore
guide, designed to protect the crown of your muzzle, when using a cleaning rod
from the muzzle end of any rifle.
For more extensive cleaning, disassembly of the rifle, (either to the 3 primary sub-
assemblies, or further to include removing the bolt and the fire control assembly)
may be necessary. Cleaning all of the parts and components and lightly lubricating
them will help maintain your rifle and keep it in good working order.
Barrel Obstructions
FIRING A FIREARM WITH AN OBSTRUCTED BARREL COULD
CAUSE A BURST BARREL AND INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE
SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
Before loading the 22 LR Classic rifle, check the chamber and bore to ensure
that they are free of obstructions (cleaning patches, excess oil, mud, snow, or
other foreign matter). Running a cleaning rod down the bore from the muzzle
end is a good way to check.
