EKYhunter Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Guys, I was just wondering what type of oil/rust preventative you put in your muzzle loader barrel after cleaning? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Re: Question about muzzle loader cleaning While at the range this past weekend, I was cleaning my guns and had the dreaded crud ring from 777. I was using spit patch after spit patch and not gaining much ground on it. I squirted some of the Hopps Foaming Bore Cleaner in the barrel and let it set for a couple minutes and then ran a dry patch through. The bore was spotless! I shot some more and then repeated the cleaning with just he Hoppes. The stuff is great! I squirted the stuff in one gun, and took the breechplug out of the second gun and squirted it. After disassembling #3 and squirting it, I was ready to patch out gun #1. It was the easiest cleaning job I have ever had on ML guns using 777 or Pyrodex.

robk Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Re: Question about muzzle loader cleaning i use the stuff form tc arms. it is a solvent that comes pretreated form tc arms and is a great cleanign solvent. my barreel stays squeaky clean and i use some gun oil for the outer parts and wipe the oil off after i apply it so there is just a very light screen of oil on the outer barreland othe rplaces like that. on the inside i don;'t use any of that but make sure it is a clean barrel and then make sure before i shoot again that it is swabbed with a dry cloth and then i shoot a new load. best way for me to go and i have never had any problems with my black powder rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
