Just the 22's. I just turn on the garden hose, use a high pressure nozzle and spray it out. Then dry it as best as I can, spray brake parts cleaned to dissipate water, dry thar out, lightly oil. 22 gets powder every where, and I'm too lazy to be brushing and patching nooks and crannies.

then i started using foaming engine cleaner and the residue just flowed out

Is that safe on guns? I've never heard of using foaming engine cleaner, although it sure sounds like it would work like a champ.

**** patches!! After 5k rounds through my daughters 15-22, lil dip of solvent on the bore snake, pull it through several times, clean as a whistle

I like bore snakes. Use them on my 45, 9, and 380. Don't have one for my 22 yet.

as long as it doesn't touch plastic it cleans the metal good and doesn't remove the bluing or external coating form the guns
and its not as strong as brake cleaner so it will discolor plastic but not really acid away and warp/melt it, but my advice keep it away from plastic

And why is that? Ill admit, ill do a thorough cleaning on my regular guns with rags, q tips, full detail strip, but on the 22's? f that.

Pressure wash with a garden hose?

LOL, if I need to bust out the real pressure washer, there's a problem.

I don't know that my guns ever get so dirty that I would feel justified using foaming engine cleaner. I'm more comfortable using a bore snake, with or without solvent.
