Guns Cleaned

Today, I finally got around to cleaning the two rifles I shot with last Friday.

The first to be cleaned was the Winchester 94 .30-30. That went without a hitch.

Then, I cleaned the Winchester 62A .22 cal. That didn't go so smoothly. The rod end came off in the barrel and I tried getting it out with a wire hangar. That didn't work, so I loaded a couple of rounds and the first shot blew the obstruction out. I did this in the front yard. The sound wasn't much as it was a .22. A neighbor was taking a walk on the road in front during this and just grinned and waved. I waved back.

The rifles have been put back in the cabinet all ready for the next shooting session.
