I started this over on Castboolits quite sometime ago, i know several guys that got them after my thread and really liike them. I got the idea from a good friend, Pedersoli markets a steam cleaner with their name on it and it is SPENDY, yet does nothing more than my little hand held unit. It is AMAZING how well these things work! This is the one i have, it is called a Gideon, i got mine from Amazon, it only holds about 1-1/2 cups of water but will produce steam for 20-30 minutes on that small amount, my unit is up to full working temp in about 3 minutes, its fast! I find it only takes me about 5 minutes to clean everything. I use mine to clean the snail and Patented breeches, i pull the nipples and point the nozzle in the hole and steam for a few minutes, you need to hold the barrel with a towel or use a glove as the steel gets way to hot to hold. I also pull the locks on my guns and thoroughly clean them with steam, the hammer, and hammer face etc. Nothing in my opinion cleans Blackpowder residue and fouling like the power of steam. I would think this little steam cleaner would be a dream on inlines as well
