G'day,
Sorry I'm sure this has been covered but I couldn't find a thread for it.
With my inline I simply get some very hot soapy water and work the bore with with a brush until she's squeaky clean then run an oiled patch down at the end. I soak the breech plug, thenget into it with a nipple pivk and cotton buds til happy. Dry it out, lightly grease it and put it back together. Maybe not perfect but it's kept my girl in working order and rust free for years.
With a percussion I'm not sure how different the tasks and processes are for cleaning. Not having as ready access to both sides of the barrel and the whole percussion/nipple aspect have thrown me a bit.
Can anyone suggest a kit or any tools specifically for percussion and any methodology for looking after my mew hawken.
If there are threads existing that you can direct me to that is just as good.
Thank you,
