Default RE: What is a CRUD-RING

Thank's cayugad or is it cayuqad? You explained it very well. I guess we all actually have some sort of a crudring, just more for some than others. As for the breechplug being hard to clean, I too have had to spend a-lot of time cleaning it. But one time I tried something, I took a very small amount of BB and applied it to the end of the breechplug, not plugging the fire channel. Then after an outing of shooting when I went to clean it, the fouling on it just wiped off. So since then I have been doing this with no problems at all. And you also mentioned not to use BB when you store you ML for long periods of time with high humidity. Well I swab the barrel's of all My ML's and shotguns prior to storage and have never had a problem when the next season came around and I inspected the barrela after removal of the BB. What problems have you noticed with storage of guns that had BB applied to them in high humidity, was it rust? Thank's for your reply, I learned much. Ron
