[QUOTE="FULLDRAWXX75, post: 425250, member: 3950"] I use hot water and liquid dish soap, as hot as you can stand it. use a brass brush and a patch jig, when it is completely clean I pour boiling hot water down the barrel and let air dry, after an spell, I dry patch it with the brush and a few patches just to make sure all is clean if not, I will run a patch with some #13 or Rusty Duck/Black Off and then a few dry ones until cleaned. At the end of the season it gets a good thorough cleaning and lubed up with bore butter and left. The bore butter will leach into the pours of the metal and help protect the barrel from rusting with use and cleaning. It's like seasoning a cast iron frying pan. FDXX75 [/QUOTE]
