Parts came in Friday for the Browning SA-22.
Upon disassembly I noticed that this thing was very dirty, (I don't think this thing had ever been cleaned in its life) along with it being dirty I needed to do an inspection of the barrel, due to the premature firing of the last round.
Sure enough the premature firing caused a squib, with a little effort it was out, and with no damage to the barrel.
Well after about 3 hours with a pick, solvent and swabs this thing was clean as new.
Reassembled the rifle and a functional check, took it to the garage and fired a few rounds into the phonebook backstop with no issues and is ready for the range.
