Mauser06 described my cleaning process I use with my flint and percusion rifles using BP. My old TC Hawken is 30 years old and look like the day I bought it. As for inlines using 777 I am still not sure what is best. I pretty much treat them like my center fire rifle. I am finishing with bore butter but I am not totally sold on the stuff.

What do you use one the outside of a stainless steel barrel to prevet rust.
