I am looking for a cleaning kit for all of my rifles and pistols... something that would cover from .32 cal to .50 cal.
This fall I am actually going to shoot all of them after assembling, tweaking, and buying what I have now..... a rather exciting prospect to me!
What I have is a .32 Crockett, 2 1851 Navy (brass and steel frame, both in .44 caliber) 2 1858 Remington (again, brass and steel frame in .44 caliber) and 7 .50 caliber rifles.... Pedersoli Frontier flintlock, Traditions Pennsylvania in cap and ball, Traditions Kentucky, Traditions St. Louis Hawken, Traditions .32 Crockett, Traditions .50 caliber Mountain, Cabela's .50 caliber Hawken, and a Traditions Frontier in .50 caliber.
The question comes from having some very long barrels.... Pedersoli flinter is actually 39", and is the longest of them all.
I will need something to clean the patent breech, so I have read .22 cal will do that.
Cost is a factor in a all in one kit as I am retired, living the life I dreamed of, but not wealthy.
Any suggestions?
I also have some modern cartridge rifles that I would like to keep clean.
I know.... soap, very hot water, etc, but looking for something that will reach that danged patent breech to clean it out also,
Thanks in advance, and yes, I still like Traditions even with the minor issues I had during the assembly of them..... they keep getting better and more mine daily.... heheheh
