I concur with what Jack said. I have 2 Winchester rifles that my Grandfather purchased after WW2 as soon as they became available. One is a Model 72 the other is a Model 61. The only barrel cleaning I do is to run a clean patch or two down them. My Grandpa once told me if I brass brushed the barrel he'd stick the barrel where the sun don't shine. Even though he's been gone for 45 years I still obey his word.
I do clean the actions with a tooth brush and Hoppes when they get funky. They are both very accurate after all these years and 4 youngins' learning to shoot with them.
My other 22's, a Ruger 10-22 and several pistols receive the same kind of treatment.
Best wishes, Bill
