We gave my son his grandfathers .22 rifle. It is a Remington Score Master model 511.
We went out shooting gophers and were having alot of trouble with it. He told me the bullets were duds. No they weren't because I got them to go off in my .22.
Got home and I pulled the bolt and ran a bore brisel through it and a heap of patches. Took a tooth brush and scrubbed the bolt.
Now I noticed that the firing pin is in the center of this bolt and I believe that it is full of gunk because it cocks when you pull the bolt up to load a round. May be why the rounds were not going off because it was not getting hit with enough force.
My husband wants to soak the bolt in some solvent. I don't know if that will help or not.
The firing pin is spring loaded.
Now should we soak it in solvent or take it to a gun smith to take the bolt apart and clean it?
