Ok So Im just getting into Muzzle Loading....Just got a Hawkins, Ive got the rifle its self at a shop getting checked up on and cleaned up and stuff since it has not been shot or really even touched in 25 years. The guy said it will be fine and should have it back in the next couple days. SO...Ive got what I need to shoot but my big "worry" I guess you could say is that I feel that I dont properly know how to clean the gun. Im a little confused on the whole using water to clean it but other than that I swabbing and oiling and stuff but I have no experience in cleaning a Black powder rifle, I have only bowhunted and rifle hunted before. So ive hung around here and tried to pick up what I can and feel like I CAN clean it but I want to KNOW I can so that I do it right, and continue to do it right. So Im kind of looking for any pointers and advice and I also have a link to a "youtube" video from a guy that by the looks of it, knows what hes doing but if you go to about halfway through the video he begins to clean the gun and If you could please watch it and tell me if he does a good job it would be much much appreciated!
