    I use boiling water from the kettle when cleaning black powder due to the fact that the heat causes the water to evaporate in the barrel and action. You just have to use thick gloves or a cloth to hold the barrel due to the heat. The barrel is usually to hot to touch for about 10 minutes afterwards. I have found that there is no residual water on the weapon or in the barrel after I have finished and before oiling the firearm.

    for my 12 gauge Magtech Brass I rinse em in hot water with dish soap then hot water and ballistol mix (moose milk) after I rinse em very well again and hit it with another rinse of hot water/dish soap and vinegar mix. Lastly I dry em out then clean the inside with the big swabs or paper towel on a dowel.
    Works great and I'm left extremely satisfied!

    That is pure perfection in a classic firearm, still able to provide food for the table, and will more than likely with care and pride of ownership, outlast anything of plastic from the getting store, even the sling is one I would like to have. Imagine the years of great memories this firearm has provided for those who possessed it.

      That's what I want to know. I know we tend to over or under clean out guns these days, I've seen a lot of both in the army and by friends. I have zero experience with bp and only know there is a little more labor involved but how much more is necessary and how much is overkill. Like does oil alone after shooting at least keep it from rusting.

    Instead on using a sink i use a cleaning rod, jag and patch with a bucket of water and soap. Stick one end in the bucket and use the rod jag and patch and run it up and down. It scrubs the barrel plus brings the water up like a siphon. Works great.

      I use (0% water and 10% ballistol mix for wiping my black powder rifle between shots when using conicals, but shooting round ball I can shoot all day long without wiping the bore at all. The secret is a mix of 99% water with a drop of dishsoap. submerge the shooting patch, sling off the dripping, and load and shoot. I clean my guns mainly with hot soapy water and lube all the metal surfaces with 100% ballistol. This stuff is amazing and been around for a century. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

    I've got an Italian made replica Remington 1857 New Army. Fun to shoot. The instructions that came with that say to wash with hot soapy water and then bake the metal parts in the oven. At a Rev War reenactment I watched a guy do field cleaning by opening up the chamber and washing it out with a water hose. What came out was black mud. Obviously he did more at home.

    I'll have to agree with you, Eric. Black powder firearms are so rewarding. I have a 54 cal blunderbuss and I took it with me dove hunting as a backup with my 870. I was missing dove all evening but I managed to bag a dove with that blunderbuss. To see that dove hit the ground behind that clue of smoke was just awesome.

    @danielcurtis1434 6 місяців тому

    I got an easy easy method I use. Take the hose preferably with an attachment or use your thumb to spray down the whole inside and out with lots of water. It’s particularly effective if you have a revolver with cylinder remover or inline with the breech plug. After the fouling is gone you spray it down with ballistol. The ballistol will emulsify with the water abd prevent rust as it dries. Just get the ballistol on it right after you remove excess water. Alternatively you could dry it completely and use an oil.

    I only shoot muzzle loaders with real black powder and I only use black powder guns. I am not knocking modern guns, I just like the old ways of doing things. I really enjoy cleaning my guns as well. They can be just as accurate as center fire guns, with a lot of patience and experimentation. I shoot a 1 inch group, @ 50 yards, with my Lyman Great Plains with a precise wet patch and round ball. My rifle likes 60 grains of Goex, .015 wet patch, and a .498 ball.

      I have the same issue. Some people are able to “retrain” their dominant eye to match their handedness, but I’ve never seriously tried. I shoot hand guns right handed without an issue, but long guns I simply shoot left handed. I have to be aware of brass ejection in auto loaders, but that is better than trying to get your face across the top of the stock on a high power or scoped rifle to get a proper sight picture. Working a bolt action cross handed is a bit of a challenge, but more than manageable in any type of shooting I do. I’ve shot percussion black powder both ways, I would not shoot a flintlock “wrong handed”.

    I love to shoot the holy black, but real life doesn't always allow for time to clean up. I end up shooting the AR-15 more often. That said, dropping 535 grn homemade lead pills on to a steel buffalo at 1000 yds with my Sharps is kick ass fun.

    My enfield reproduction has seen nothing but hot soapy water to clean. Then a boiling water rinse. It will heat dry itself. For oil, just olive oil. The bore looks just like it did in 1987. I've put tons of blanks and live rounds through it.

    Had a Hawkins 50 cal, loved shooting it, hated cleaning it, got so disgusted the 1st time I just removed the barrel from the stock and climbed in the bathtub with it, the water looked like ink after a couple of minutes

    Less than a minute in and he says to clean it with water. So many people don’t understand that. Everyone thinks water will destroy the gun. My dad refuses to clean his black powder gun with water. No wonder it would barely fire when we took it out shooting
