Hi!
I have my Dad's rifle, a .22 Remington 341P untouched for at least 20 years (and the very one I learned to shoot with..at a really, really young age!), and Dad always made a point of cleaning it himself.
That was probably wise, but now I haven't got the least notion how to get it far enough apart to clean the bore! The action works smoothly and I was able to run an empty rod down from the muzzle, load an oiled patch in a holder onto it, and pull it back out (no big globs of rust, hooray!), but there's barely room enough to do that. It was just at the wanting-to-rust point externally when he handed it to me -- it's clear he put it up clean and lightly oiled way back when, but I daren't let it go much longer!
So, is anyone familiar with this model? (Does anyone know when Remington made 341Ps? Dad bought it used, and was in his teens then).
It doesn't seem to be anything rare, found a dealer listing one for just over $100 US. But it was fun to shoot and has a lot of sentimental value.
