I ended up going out getting to the range Saturday morning for a couple of hours. I shot about 9 rounds and sited in my Thompson to about 1-2inch groups at 50 yards. Next Saturday I plan on spending some time at 100 yards.

Iwent with Sabotloaders suggestion of Windex. It was the easiest thing to find around the house.Cleaned very well with Triple 7 pellets and Winchester 209 primers. Thank you all for the input. This forum is great!!!

I also tried out an adjustablerest I put together with some scrap lumber laying around.I attached a picture of the rest. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done and the price was right.
