Jack will clean your pipes out, not sure about gun barrel.

But then again if they make it in a barrel then it might clean a barrel.

Never herd of EVERCLEAR. We just used grain and called it grain. Cleaned glass with it and made jungle juice, and made jungle juice and then we would make jungle juice. After that we would drink the jungle juice, wake up two days later and start cleaning glass again. You get the picture.

After a while we forgot about cleaing glass or anything else for that matter. :grin: :redface:

Yes, I understood that. And I was explaining my experience because I think it's important for the new guys to know there are other ways to do that and most other things in the hobby. Everyone is free to choose, but that works best if there is more than one choice.

I have read many here that swab out their barrels with alcohol to remove oil and such. Will rubbing alcolhol from the drugstore on a cotton patch work or is there some other type you use? Thanks

Yes, swab with a cotton cleaning patch using the highest rubbing alcohol percentage you can get, usually 91%. This will remove any left over oil that could potentially render your first powder charge largly inert. Only dampen the patch with alcohol, it shouldn't be dripping wet. If loading becomes difficult try swabbing with an alcohol cleaning patch every few shots to remove built up powder fouling.
