If this weather would ever straighten up I'd like to go out shoot my new ML, I just don't like this cold!! I have enough supplies to start shooting except something to clean my breech plug with. I seen some stuff on the CVA site that has a plasticcontainer with capand a little dipping basket that you set your breech plug in and let it soak. Anyone have something else they buy or a "home brew" Thanks
I use straignt rubbing alcohol (91%) and use those little plastic 2 or 3 Oz plastic cups you give kids juice in to soak the plug. Sure I have to reach in the alcohol to get the breech plug but that is not that messy. I use a small nail a little smaller than the hole in the breech to clean the inside of the plug with a patch. I use a tooth brush also to get stuff off the threads. Almost anything wet takes the fouling off. I like the Alcohol since it dries quick. Chap Gleason
