I watched it.

Depends. Precision shooters like benchresters are at one end of the spectrum, and they clean their bores carefully. I saw an interview with Lones Wigger from back in the 80's , and he said he cleaned his rifles after every 50 rounds or so.

Based on your last sentence it seems you don't need to overdo it or sweat it much. Clean once in awhile with a decent rod and clean patches, maybe a bronze brush, especially the chamber and leade, and you should be GTG. Any of the common "juices" on the market, except ammonia based solvents meant for centerfires and copper jacketed bullets. Hoppe's No. 9 is cheap and still works well.

Ttt

But hey; the DNR boys are government and those hunters are not. Blowing up some unoccupied deer stands is nothing compared to stuff like Waco. The whole thing could have been neatly, (and silently) taken care of with a front end loader and trucks, as has been mentioned here already.

BTDT!

Only if accuracy drops off.

Not much need to clean, really. Now the action and chamber if prone to powder fouling, I clean pretty good.

Was invited over to a neighbors a few weeks ago, for some hog nuts. They were good, but I already knew they would be. miles

you have my attention.

They probably just installed the mandatory signage over the site like they have to along the main roads on that Rez. I’d be more concerned about the old washers, dryers, vehicles, vehicle parts, bathtubs, etc in the road ditches. They at least have them marked for removal with signs on the nearest tree saying love Mother Earth, our spirit home, the great nation, one with the earth…….

Carbon only.

The people in power over us are organized crime. What they are doing to our nation is called busting out.

Here's how small scale Mafia does it. Same thing, just on a much larger scale.

The fire needs more of this. Much more.

Clymer 22PPC reamer with a .244" neck diameter. This is a bushing reamer, but I don't have bushings or the C clip. I bought this used and cut one chamber. It cut fine, but I indicate/pre drill/bore so I don't use bushings. Clymer would have them. Asking $50 shipped in CONUS

Good suggestions here by some knowledgeable folks. Depends on what you mean by decent. If you are a professional in some trade you need tools that will produce top results efficiently and will hold up over time. If you are a typical homeowner or hobbyist hacker like me, you can get by with tools that are "good enough". That's the market niche Harbor Freight is based on.

FWIW, my late father-in-law ran a precision metal working business, had an in-depth knowledge of metallurgy. He once told me that some Taiwanese sockets were as good as any, especially with a bit of minor cleanup.

Of course there's pride of ownership and budget to consider, and patriotism. My own military service was directly opposed to Communist China, so I feel a twinge of guilt or regret when I buy a Chinese product, but it's nearly impossible to avoid. YMMV, of course.

Thank you Sweets! It was advertised like new never fired. I thought I looked it over good but when I got home I noticed it. I was able to pick this one up and a 870 wingmaster in 12ga that was also like new never fired for a fair price.

One of the all time controversies in shooting.

I don't shoot my 22 rifles much anymore but handguns regularly.

Some say you gotta season a 22 bore like a cast iron skillet to get it to shoot it's best.(I might agree with this one)
Some say shooting different ammo with different plating and lubes changes things
Some say they never or seldom clean their 22 bores.

I don't know if I shoot well enough (mostly handguns) to tell much but what do you guys think?

MAGA!

Today's verses:

Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time He will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.

I Peter 5:6-7

The Creator of the universe loves us and cares about us more than we could ever imagine. Have a safe workweek, brothers!

Remarkably easy, you can order one from places like Buds, Grab a Gun,..... it we be close to $1100 to get one in your hands. You do not have to use child safety lock if you do not want to, simple yes?
Big upside is you will not loose lot in resale if you choose to carry and shoot it, but it might take little longer to find willing buyer due to caliber, most want .44 Magnum.
Old pinned and recessed stuff is best left to internet "show and tell" collector guys, unless you do not mind big depreciation in value from use. You see "show and tell" pics all the time, a revolver with shot target, ammo, empties no signs of use like famed cylinder ring.

I have a Bostitch pneumatic 18 I’ve had for a long time. Mostly for building furniture but I’ve nailed a lot of trim and moulding with it. I bought a Ryobi battery 18 while the Bostitch was being repaired. I find I use that far more often now. Both are 90 degree nailers and both work well. Never tried the angled ones other than my big framing nailer.

This. I have seen tribal members deer hunting from stands over there but there has always been a motor on those stands and someone behind the wheel directing said stand.

There is a bunch I don’t understand about this considering how many “don’t” are given to any white people questioning activities on these sovereign nations.

Osky

Real nice ! Looks like a road right next to the stand....use a front end loader into a truck or trailer and HAUL the wood and metal out of the woods....it would look so much nicer !
Who ever OK'd the destruction should be fired and sent to clean up the mess !

I take it

Affordable "budget" tools are just like affordable "budget" optics, all made in China under contract in the same factories. Buy any of them at whatever price fits your wallet. Pittsburgh brand is a good durable hand tool, as well as Kobalt. Craftsman is over priced in the same class of tool. Personally for a little step up in quality I like Tekton sockets and ratchets.

Outstanding! 😎 Thanks for posting.
