Best method for deep cleaning the breech plug

Sabotloader: But how do you clean the internal threads of the breech....inside the gun itself?

I get a little lazy here and go to a power tool...

I will dry clean it first using this setup and with the drill set to turn counter-clock wise. Drilling it dry will remove a lot of the fouling and pull it out on the breech floor.

Then I will repeat the same action only this time I will drop some Birchwood Casey 2-in-1 bore cleaner on the brush to disolve any hard or stubborn carbon depoosits. Here are some pics showing this treeatment.

Hope those shows what I thionk you were asking. Yesterday while cleaning the Wolverine I took a bunch of pictures of the homemade tools and devices that I use.... haven't got the pictures separated, organized, and labeled yet

Harbor Freight. Very reasonable in price to clean the barrel's breech plug threads. Its a push and lock, so it won't come off.

Brass, Stainless and Nylon brushes...…

Perfect timing I needed to go to HF next week anyway.

You may not need the extra extension, but for the price I picked it up. Works excellent :yeah:
