22lr clean or don’t clean, how to clean!
I’m wondering what people’s views are, when it comes to cleaning their 22lrs, I’ve heard from several people that they don’t clean their .22s, and I’ve also heard of people cleaning their .22lrs to a spit polish. I clean my .22lrs quite clean, and I’m wondering if it’s not necessary! I would love to hear people’s opinions, and or methods of cleaning their .22s.

Me too. I clean the surface and make sure the moving parts are looked after, after every day at the range

There are two different types of shooters when it comes to .22 smallbore rifles.
Those who rarely clean the bores of their rifles, and those who clean regularly.
I used to ask this question regularly of the master class shooters when I was a Marksman class shooter and the common answer was " after every match".
I clean my smallbore rifles about the same intervals as my centerfire rifles.

22lr clean
I read an article written by a military sniper. He said that they only clean their rifle barrels about every 300 shots.

I’ve got my 10/22 stripped into pieces right now cleaning the receiver and barrel. I can’t remember the last time I did it, but it’s been a while.

I don't clean a .22 as often as a centre fire. If you say every few years you most likely don't know when you cleaned it last.......was it 2,3,4,5 years? Just sayin if you can remember something that you do every three years, your memory is amazing.
I clean all my rifles/guns at the end of gun season (Dec/Jan). If I clean them all then, well, I know I've cleaned them all.

Anschutz recommends every 1000 rounds for the first 10,000, then every 5000 rounds.
