Sabot plastic... probably not an issue like it use to be because of the new self lubricating polymere plastic tht is being used. With the older plastic I did get some plastic fouling but it was easily removed with boiling water treatment....

I am a dinosourer of sorts.. i still have not got quck detachable scope mounts on my inlines... don't trust em - I no they are probably OK - but only probably... So for me to to do the boiling water tretment which I do I have to do it in a different manner. I first run regular windex patches through the bore until they come out as clean as they went in. Then, I put hat tap water in a bucket with a Zep cleaner/degreaser... in the bottom of the bucket I place a folded up thick wash rag. I put the muzzle on that wash rag and insert the bore mop from the breech and pump the water up while mopping the barrel. After I have cleaned the bore with hot tap to my satisfaction I then pour biling water down the breech into the bore being careful not to get the boiling water on the scope. I pour most of a teapot through and then on the last couple of pours I will let the boiling water drop a ways in the barrel then go back with the mop for some gentle mopping. I remove the barreled action from the bucket set it in a gun cradle and run dry patches through the barrel... I also use a can of compressed air and blow air through the bore to blow out or evaporate any remaining water. Then while the bore is hot, to hot to touch, I oil the bore heavily with Slip 2000 and let it sit inside the bore until it cools to room temp. Then dry patches to get the excess oil out. When the barrel is completly cooled and at normal room temp I do run another Slip 2000 patch if the gun is going to be stored for awhile...

Basically that is how treat all of the ML's blued or stainless...
