Nitty Gritty on the cleaning
I recently bought a T/C Omega and have been shooting with it 2 times and want to make sure I am doing everything I am supposed to do in cleaning so as to get a nice long life out of my gun. I watched the DVD that came with it in the kit and I follow all of those instructions-
Swab with cleaner and dry patch between every shot
Swab completely clean when I get home (usually 5-7 cleaning patchesbefore I stop seeing crud on them) and then dry swab it.
Use a bore butter patch after all that is done.
I use a breech plug thread cleaner (little red plastic thing that looks like a tap that threads into the breech plug threads and back out) and lube the threads.
I use a container of breech plug solvent and soak the breech plug, brush it, dry it, lube it and reinstall.
Is there anything else that you guys could recommend to ensure I am doing all that I can do? What do I need to do to it for long term storage?
