I cleaned my 10/22 today for the first time after adding a scope. It went okay, but I'm wondering if there's a better way than just balancing it upside down on the scope. When installing the bolt assembly over the charging handle and spring, I felt like it was a lot of downward pressure on the scope and mount. Is there a way to hold the receiver steady without putting stress on the scope and mount? I'm curious to see if the gun holds zero after cleaning this way.
Any tips on how to support the receiver with a scope attached while cleaning?
