My method is even better than azmntman’s. But my recipe will cost you $7.50.

Not sure what this type of breech is called but seems to be on my TC Hawken. Easy to clean by removing the clean out screw occasionally.

I removed the screw and replaced it with one of these thumb screws for ease of removal and replacement.

You can always coat the bore with shortening and bake it in the oven to season it.....just kidding...

I season all my bores with garlic butter. 40 yards more!

I beg to disagree- while not HC the most hassle free method is hose water.
I used to boil water but got flash rust instantly. Went to warm soapy water, had to rinse with plain cold water anyway…
My routine has evolved (or Devolved) into just plain water: no heat, no soap.

No other way works better. But no one will believe it so they continue with their magic potions and have at it....

The number of BP cleaning recipes is edging up to the number of spaghetti and meatball recipes.

Or chili or cole slaw, no two people make them the same and everyone has the magic cleaning formula, BUT mine is the best!

 

[mushka]

Plain tap water and some patches.
Every once in a while remove the nipple and put it back in.

What a boring topic

THEY ARE NO HARDER TO CLEAN THEN ANY OTHER BREECH ! IF YOU REMOVE YOUR BARREL PUT THE BREECH IN A BUCKET AND PUMP FOR A MINUTE OR TWO WITH A THICH PATCH ON YOUR JAG, I FLUSH MINE UNTIL THE BARREL GETS UNCOMFORTABLE TO HOLD WITH HOT WATER NO SOAP OR CLEANING PRODUCTS REQUIRED ( NON OF THE ERA/PERIOD CORRECT EVER HAD SOAP IN THEIR POSSIBLES POUCH TO CLEAN WITH) IT TAKES LONGER TOBOIL THE WATER THEN IT DOES TO TAKE THE BARREL OFF AND FLUSH IT AND YES I REMOVE MY PINNED BARRELS EVERY TIME AND IN 20 YEARS THEY ARE STILL AS TIGHT AS THE DAY THEY WE'RE MADE ! THE CLAMP THAT TRACK SELLS WORKS BUT AGAIN IT WAS NEVER FOUND IN A LONG HUNTER OR TRAPPER'S KIT. I HAVEN'T TRIED THE MAGNETIC ONE, IF IT WORKS WOULD MAKE FITTING TO THE GUN ALOT EASIER. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO REMOVE THE BARREL JUST PLUG THE NIPPLE/VENT FILL WITH BOILING WATER AND LET SIT FOR A MINUTE OR SO REMOVE THE PLUG AND PUSH IT OUT THROUGH THE NIPPLE/VENT WITH THE GUN TILTED SO THE WATER DOESN'T RUN DOWN THE STOCK 5-6 PATCHES AND IT WILL BE DRY RUN A LUBED PATCH DOWN AND OUT TURN IT OVER AND REPETE YOUR GUN IS NOW CLEAN. IT HAS TAKEN ME LONGER TO TYPE THIS THEN IT TAKES TO DO IT EVEN AFTER SHOOTING ALL DAY AT A TERRITORIAL.

Yep. Been doing this ever since I first read about it in the '80's... z Quoted in Florida Wildlife magazine from Civil War-era Union training manual re: maintaining one's weapon in the field.

A lot depends on how clean you want your rifle. I guarantee that if you clean with water only, or even water with some detergent, and then run a tight fitting patch down into that small diameter area, it will come out with some black stuff on the patch. It is highly unlikely that little bit of black stuff will ever cause a problem, but it bothers me to have it there.

This is another variant of a chambered breech. The one pictured is the T/C chambered breech. The so called clean out screw is a leftover following the drilling of the access to the drilling to the powder chamber. That "clean out" screw caused so many warranty repairs that they changed the design to remove that screw.

Could you explain ? I'm curious how removing and reinstalling a screw could be an issue.
