A simple field-cleaning kit contains materials for different caliber guns. Jointed rods are best used sparingly and carefully.

Clenzoil is a good oil-based cleaner/lubricant. Militec barrel treatment promises longer barrel life and lower levels of fouling.

Corrosive rimfire ammunition dates from the 1920s and earlier, with the exception of a few LR target loadings (with Lesmok powder) made to about 1945. This ammunition is currently sought after by collectors. If you have a box, trade it for something you can shoot. Trading old boxed cartridges is a good deal under any circumstances, since the current stuff will likely shoot better. Corrosive ammunition, to my knowledge, always featured copper-colored (gilding-metal) cases. A fair amount of non-corrosive target and standard-velocity rimfires had gilding-metal cases until about 1942. The boxes are marked with various trade names such as “Kleanbore,” “Staynless,” or “Rustless,” along with text indicating the ammunition’s non-corrosive properties. If you come into a batch of loose ammunition with copper-colored cases, you’re on your own. Cleaning corrosive fouling requires flushing with hot water, followed by an oil with rust-inhibiting properties or cleaning with a military-type cleaner that removes corrosive fouling, or one for cleaning black-powder fouling.
