Cleaning a Ruger #3

[dale2242]

I have a Ruger #3 in 22 Hornet that shoot a lot.
What is the proper way to clean it without getting cleaning solvent down in the action?
Standard bore guides aren`t working for me.

Make a cradle and clean it upside down. keep the muzzle the lowest point.

What is this cleaning you speak of??? You mean we are supposed to actually clean our guns? :shock:

Just kidding, I always just held my single shots upside down when I was swabbing the bore; although the cradle does make sense if you have room for it.

A card board box can make a very useful cradle, Find center and lay out a vee on each end so that the muzzle is an inch or so lower than the action and cut them out lay a soft towel in them then the gun.
