Black powder pistols, how do you clean yours?

[tacfoley]

Hi folks, this is my first post - actually the second but my reply to Jock's thread (Lemat & R&S) seems to have gone awol.

I use Muzzle-Magic to give the bore a clean between details & before slipping the gun, but its' expensive so I use concentrated screen wash (popular with the Yanks) & a small headed toothbrush when I get home. Follow this with a hot water rinse - wipe over then a light spray with Brunox, & a drop of gun oil on some moving parts completes the job. I remove nipples (unless I'm using the same gun again within a week) but rarely strip it down & when that becomes necessary there's not much in the way of gunk in the moving parts.

Sounds just fine to me, 'slong as you remember to grease the arbor. Me, I run a rod through the bore every now and then with a jag and baby-wipe. It's cheap, and leaves it smelling nice and fresh, too.

BTW, Welcome to the forum!!!!
