I just picked up two fine 1022s last Saturday at a show. Two of the mags that I got were well fouled, so I took them apart and cleaned them, sans any instructions. I think I did well enough.

The only thing I did differently than in this excellent video, was the pre-tensioning. Using a new mag as a guide - I felt that I needed nearly two full turns of the mag body to get the same tension, once assembled, as the new mag. Should I go back and reduce the pre-tensioning to "8 notches", which looks more like a single full turn?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I will look for tech sights and mag releases today, to have both rifles ready for the Hernando event as loaners.

Here's another link to a good video of a mag cleaning:

I've always just sprayed them clean with gun scrubber.
