I'm have a hard time getting my 32 clean. I have checked it twice after cleaning and putting away and found rust. So far I have tried two different cleaning routines.
1. Hot soap and water in the bucket with the plunger action.
2. Last night I tried cold water poured in the barrel let it sit. Did that twice then started running patches down the bore. Put it in a bucket of cold water and plunged the bore with a patch.
Durning both of these I have used a brush and scrubed. Last night when I ran the oiled patch down the bore I got black on the patch I scrubbed on the gun for 3 hours. Started to think that the patch wasn't thick enough so took one of my shooting patches and put it on the cleaning jag and a flannel patch that was 7/8 square. Pushing down and pulling out would get a squeak. So I figured it was clean NOPE. I have used the hot water and soap on my 50 cal and 62 smooth bore and my 10 ga. with no problems with not getting them clean just the 32 cal. I will take any help I can get.
