I got to were I didn't clean a rimfire but every 500rds. That's probably more often than a lot of peopleI have a Nylon 66 I bought in 1982, cleaned it enough to keep it running. Last year I finally field stripped it and it's a clean gun. I haven't fired it since. Too many other .22's to dirty up. The rimfires will make you have to clean them. It's a labor of love..![]()
