I'm going to give my Kodiak one more thorough cleaning before Saturday. It seems I read somewhere that you could use Mean Green to clean it with. Could I use that on the breech plug as well as the barrell? Also, should I scrub the barrell with a brass brush or not? I've heard it isn't good for the barrell. Finally, will the T17 patches be sufficient to prevent rust in the barrell?

BTW, if anyone has any ideas on how to clean the part where the firing pin hits the primer, I'd be happy to listen.

Thanks to all. Your knowledge is invaluable.
