Cleaning?

[RandallT]

I have read a lot on here about making your own cleaning solution. Unfortunately I did not take notes or remember the variations, so I was hoping someone could let me know what the best clean-up is for Triple 7 powder and what is best if I try the APP.

I think Cayugad said to mix 50% alcohol and 50% windex. Is the alcohol just the rubbing alcohol (90% isosprol sp?)or is it some special type?

Thanks again for all the help.

Yes just the simple isopropyl 91% alcohol. Car windshield washer fluid is cheap too. As for other cleaners, as long as lead, copper, and plastic fowling is not an issue, simple water will clean up Triple Se7en. I use a product called Simple Green that I mix with water and it really cleans the fowling.

If I have stubborn fowling then I use Birchwood Casey #77 solvent. Other wise a lot of the home cleaners, will clean the barrel fine. Just be careful with the cleaners on wood stocks...
