Ruger's new take down model.
How does the receiver remove from the stock?
I see how the barrel is removed from the forearm, but I am asking owners of the take down model if the receiver from the stock is easy too, for cleaning of the trigger group?
Thanks Gary

I would have to look to see how to remove the receiver, however the trigger group pops out with the receiver pins just like a standard 10/22.

you don't actually need to remove the barrel from the forearm of the stock, unless you really want to. having that part of the stock still attached doesn't inhibit cleaning the barrel at all. in my estimation it's actually a little easier, because what with the solvents and oils, etc. you have a little more to hold onto with the barrel still connected.
as far as the receiver, it's totally the same as any other 10/22. you HAVE to make sure your safety is neither on nor off but halfway in between. then it's simply a matter of unscrewing that single screw underneath. it won't come all the way out, but that's ok-- it's not supposed to. just loosen it as far as it will go and then separate the receiver from the stock. it might be a little sticky if it's brand new, but just gently pull with a little force.

when it comes down to it, you don't really need to do much cleaning of the trigger group, again unless you want to. a similar question came up in a thread a few weeks ago, and some people don't bother cleaning the trigger group at all. personally, i don't disassemble the trigger group, but just brush the parts i can reach with my smaller brush. seems to do a good enough job. i'm leery of taking the whole trigger group assembly apart. i spend a lot more of my time cleaning the receiver/bolt/spring/etc.

It will still run basically forever with just a quick wipe down after each range session

Is the barrel band the same?

303lithgow, Yes, the barrel band is the same as standard Carbines ... polymer.
odie28, Some people never clean their receivers or trigger group but I do. Seems blowback actions, like the 10/22, deposit a lot of powder residue in the bowels of the receiver and trigger group. Sometimes this crud can affect the bolt function, feeding, extraction, and trigger pull. I like to start a shooting session with a clean gun then give it a good cleaning after shooting. You'll find the TD model is very easy to disassemble for cleaning ... actually easier than a standard model. Like arg0naut22 said ... just one screw holds the receiver in the rear stock and another screw holds the forend on the barrel, plus the barrel band of course.
A good way to clean the trigger group is to remove it by pushing out two cross pins. Hose the trigger group with Hoppie's #9 or other powder solvent that is safe to use on the polymer trigger group housing (not Gun Scrubber). Use compressed air to blow out the crud and solvent then reassemble. This technique works very well ... gets the crud out, you don't have to be a gunsmith, and it's quick. If you don't have an air compressor handy, you can use "canned air" made for cleaning computer components.

One thing I do is hold everything over and into a big box in case something goes flying.

From Ruger.com: Ruger® 10/22 Takedown™ Autoloading Rifle Extras
Screw #11 the same one that releases the reciever on a regular 10/22. you will still have to make sure that the safty is centered halfway between safe and Fire.
