Cleaning your gun depends a lot on how you store it when not using it.If you havent ever cleaned it,you want to get some solvent and a gun cleaning kit from a place that sells guns.Ask them what they have that works good.Also take your gun as far apart as you can,just dont completely take the mechanism apart that chambers the shells,or anything you dont feel good about taking apart.You can use gun solvent that dissolves powder first and squirt it in the moving parts.Take a can of WD 40 or something shoot it until its dripping with the stuff and blow it off with compressed air being careful not to blow any springs or anything away,so look it over real good before hitting it with air,with a breakdown picture of your rifle so you can account for all the parts.Once you get the chambering mechanism clean,inside and out,use a little gun oil on places that move.Now you dont want any more than you need because it will attract dirt and powder.If you get too much on it wipe it off,work it in places you can,wipe off extra.After you do it a few times you will get to where you only put enough on.A drop on your bolt,work it in and wipe off any extra.While the barrel is off,if its real dirty,that means if it is not bright and shiny like chrome inside,I would get a brass brush for a 22 and dip it in solvent and keep doing that until it is shiny like chrome inside.I did that to my 22 and it had bird shot fired through it and was dull when I started.An hour or 2 later it looked like new.Then clean with patches and use a lightly oiled one the last time.Take it out and fire it after you put it back together.After a few shots try rapid fire and if it doesnt jam its good to go.Every time you put it away you want to clean it and every time you go to use it you want to check it over and maybe clean it again before you use it and any time it gets dirty.Figure on spending 3 or 4 hours the first time and get it clean.After that its a lot easier to clean until it gets real dirty again.I like to keep mine in a case that keeps the dust out and its ready to go.I have one of those Marlins with the squirrel on the stock and it has not jammed since I cleaned it like I described a few years ago.Cleaning the barrel made it way more accurate.It was unbelievable the difference in how the barrel looked inside after I cleaned it.I hit a bird like a sparrow that was so far away the sight covered it and dropped it.I bought a scope for it a while back but havent shot it since.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
