Proper cleaning methods

[Joe Boleo]

I have spent the last three nights cleaning a .50 caliber T/C Hawken flintlock barrel that some fool neglected to clean properly. Adam, please reinforce that hot soapy water patches, hot water patches, dry patches and oil patches work well. I am about ill from those folks that claim Murphy's Oil Soap, alcohol, windshield washer and whatever are the ultimate cleaning products. They might work, bit so does hot soapy water and it is almost free. Take care...
