Black Powder clean up ??

[Griz44Mag]

Windshield washer fluid.

Which is - Alcohol, Water and a detergent. That's pretty much the same as the MAP mix but without the cleaning effect of the peroxide. Interesting..... (and a cheap alternative)

I wish I still had it. It didn't follow me up when we moved and I think it even still had a little lube in it. Haven't seen one like it since.

Dang!! That's definitely a man cave decoration "par excellaunce" !

70% Isopropyl alcohol followed with a good oil after the alcohol has evaporated is simple and has worked for me for years.
Keep the alcohol off the stock wood. Over time, it will fade the finish.
Don’t forget to wipe down the ramrod.

Ballistol diluted down to about one part Ballistol to 6 parts Ballistol is good too.

@smoothshooter, I think the other part should be water.

Do you clean guns for a living? I can see your business card now...........................Have Hoppe's...... Will Clean

Cleaning guns for a living is on par with washing dishes for a living. I like to eat (too much) just like I enjoy shooting, but constant cleaning?

Meant to say “ 1 part Ballistol to 6 parts water.”
Sorry.

Correct.
1 part Ballistol to 6 parts water.

Yes, but your business card would be funny.
