It's examples like that which cause me tobe so fanatical about cleaning & lubing my muzzleloaders...I evenremovethefrizzen pivot screw & frizzen to 100% clean and lube that whole area too...it has to get pan flash residue down in there.

I believe it's just too easy to get sidetracked with work, or car problems, family emergencies, etc, etc...and before you know it, it's too late.
If I use them, I put them up showroom ready every time.

Some might call that overkill...but I promise if you even bought a rifle from me used, you woulnd't find oneany more pampered than mine.
