Does somebody make a brush for cleaning the magazine well in a .22?

[Mad_Max]

I've looked around on various sites and I can find mag well brushes/swabs/mops for .45 and 9mm but I'm not coming up with anything that says it will fit .22 semi auto.... anybody know where to get them?

I just use a nylon brush like comes free with a lot of new centerfire handguns. I can't see the need for a special tool.

I insert a smallish rag in one end and pull it up or down through. If there's still crud in there I use a GI-type 'toothbrush' and reinsert the rag.

Tooth brush has worked pretty well for me.

You can even get them in little kid sizes.

Thanks... I think I need a toothbrush

Just buy a bottle brush or a tube brush.
These have handles that fit into the magazine better then a toothbrush does.

Brownell's sell actual magazine brushes. The first shown is for single stack mags from .22 to 9mm.

You clean the mag well?

How about a garden hose? It works great, just do it on a sunny day so it can dry out.

You clean the mag well?

Shoot yeah. The upper portion near the chamber gets coated in burned powder residue. Blowback rimfire pistols aren't exactly tidy guns.

Regarding what I use for cleaning rimfire magwells as well as magazines, I just insert a .45 sized cleaning patch into a small slotted tip on the end of a section of cleaning rod and use that. I wet the patch with some plain Hoppe's cleaner to attract the soot and follow up with dry patches. I've used a GI brush as well, as needed.

I do the same with centerfire pistols.

.30 cal nylon brush dipped in CLP run up and down, then a rag on the rod to finish.
