Is there some sort of scrubber or special brush that will help me clean the bottom of the barrel on my long rifle? I want to make sure I'm getting all the gunk out. I'm worried there might be some rust, etc. also. Thanks!

Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

Just a thought from a guy who hasn't cleaned a blackpowder weapon in over 20 years. If I remember, the best way is to clean with soap and water, then dry it, and oil it. So, what about water and a denture tab, then soap and water and dry and oil? Just a thought.It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.

Frank, the barrel should have a threaded breech plug, might be a good time to check and see it isn't rusted up?Comment

^ Breech plug is so big with rust, Frank thought it was a thumb rest...

Just checked, it. Ran a rod down it with a patch, etc. and it's clean. I was worried cause I haven't checked it in awhile. I think I'm okay. And oh yeah, it's BREECH, not bottom-of-the-barrel-thingy, lol.RKBA Clock: soap box, ballot box, jury box, cartridge box (Say When!)

You should have a jag that fits on your ramrod that has a pair of twisted wires sticking down that is used to retrieve loose patches. Take a small wad of steel wool and twist it on them and use that to scrub the chamber with. You can spin it in the bottom of the chamber to scrub the face of the breech plug and the flash hole.Frank
