Black powder pistols, how do you clean yours?

By Maintenance spray i refer not to WD40 but to those containing silicon or such as 4 in 1 spray. Works for me.

Silicon is not ment for metal to metal lubrication, in fact silicon on metal to metal aids in friction welding, there have been lots of air guns (brake barrels) that have had silicon used as a lubricant and the jaws/barrel have seized solid

Been in machine and building maintenance for 45 years and used it since it came out. Never had a problem. Maybe I'm just lucky but it works for me.
Iv had my Rogers n spencer 15 years its still in perfect working order, used it this morning and it shoots as good as the day i got it. Both my Ruger old
armies also.
Now silicon on a break barrel as a lube, no it would probably gum things up but as a post wash spray i have no concerns about using it.

Seaclean does an excellent job for stainless parts that will fit in an ultrasonic cleaner, but DO NOT use it on blued parts. It will strip the blue off.

I put my cylinder(s) in the dishwasher. Just make sure I soak them in wd/Gt 85 as soon as the cycle is finished to get rid of the salt or they don't 'arf rust quick.

I tend to agree with airgunnut, those surfers do smell a bit don't they!
