I REALLY worry about my GPR sitting around. I leave it put together in it's case, and pointed down. I'm constantly stressing about rust. After I shoot, I clean it out with hot soapy water, rinse, dry, use bore cleaner, a brush, some more bore cleaner, dry it and then lube the barrel. First I used a TON of Bore Butter. Then I read that it was no good, so I started using Hoppes Gun Grease. Now I've been loading it up with Rem-Oil. I'm a pretty anal retentive guy, and reading this forum just gets me fretting about my smoke pole. Would somebody please tell me (a relative newbie) what I should do to clean up my barrel after shooting, and what I should use to protect it for when I put it up. I've got a feeling, that I'm doing a little too much, but I hear horror stories about barrels pitting. etc. etc.........and I think I've just incorporated everything I've read into my barrel cleaning routine. Sorry I'm so long winded, I just want to do things right.
