    How do I clean the forcing cone?

    I have a Heritage Rough Rider. I was cleaning last night and noticed some stuff crusted on the inside of the forcing cone. It's pretty solid and hard to remove. How do I remove it? 22LR is mostly lead or plated lead. Will it eventually cause blockage?

      I use medium grade bronze wool strands wrapped around a well used bore brush, pulls any leading and crud right out, no solvent needed. Works wonders on the big bore leading in the barrel and forcing cones, even better than my Lewis lead remover. You can use a copper pot scrubber pad's strands too, provided it's NOT copper plated steel.

        Try some wipe out most people screw up their firearms be their cleaning methods.
        California's politicians and unionized government employees are a crime gang that makes the Mexican drug cartels look like a Girl Scout Troop in comparison.

          What are you basing this claim on?
