Winchester 52D Cleaning problem

jx344
When I try to clean my bore using a bore guide, the cleaning rod drags and is scratched by something near the trigger or at the rear of the feed ramp. Does anyone know how to solve this problem.

    This could also be the trigger group. Try holding the trigger back or push it forward . I used to Clean a bunch of these target rifles of many brands for an OLD Time Shooter when he became to old to do it but wanted to maintain HIS old match guns.

    FWIW the bore on a 22 match rifle seldom needs cleaned. It takes several hundred rounds to re-season the bore after cleaning. I would shoot an entire season of NRA smallbore competition, including practice without cleaning the bore of my Anschutz 1413.

    bpost: How often should the bore be cleaned on a match small bore barrel.

    Only when groups open up by 25% is my rule for rimfire rifles.

    After many hundreds even thousands of rounds. Use a soft brush to keep the chamber clean and leave the bore alone. I cleaned mine about once a season, sometimes not.

    What Bruce said, cleaning the barrel on a rimfire target rifle is greatly overated. will cause accuracy problems.
