I have quite a few J-frames and bought a Model 34 for cheap practice with the trigger pull. This is to share pictures of the great Model 34-2 I purchased this weekend (see below)and also to ask advice. This is my first 22 lr revolver.
I bought the gun, gave it a cursory cleaning, and then put approximately 300 rounds down range. Afterward, the barrel was quite fouled with lead and so filthy that it was hard to run a copper brush through. Should I give it a quick brush out every 100 rounds or so? What do you usually do? I clean my .38, 9mm and .45s more more or less often, but usually shoot copper jacketed rounds.
After how many rounds do you clean your 22 lr revolvers? Any tips? It was quite difficult to clean the lead out of this barrel. That aside, this gun is great fun...I could shoot it all day.
