Shooting Galleries using Live Ammo

[Phil C]

Thought I would bring this back up rather then start a new post. Picked up Remington model 12 B Gallery Special. Very nice exterior condition , but the bore is a little rough. Took it apart and started cleaning things up today. Bought a 100 rounds and of shorts and will shoot it next week. Made in 1913
Any recommendations on 22 bore cleaning?

Phil,

Very nice looking Remington Gallery Special. I don't think there are very many around that look as good as yours.

As for cleaning, I would just use the standard .22 caliber phosphor bronze brush, some Hoppe's #9 and follow up with a lightly oiled patch.

Then shoot it with some Shorts to see how the old girl does. It still might shoot fairly well despite the poor bore. If not, you still have a neat looking Remington Gallery Special that I'm sure Remington 22 collectors would really like to have.
