When Im sighting in or shooting after every 3 shots I'll run a patch coated with Windex down the barrel followed by a dry patch. Very seldome do I remove the breechplug, mabey If I shoot more than 20 times I will just to clean the fire channel.
At home I will use HOT Soapy water to clean the Barrel with either a Brass or Nylon Brush, mabey 3-5 strokes,. I then use a Breech Brush to clean the Breech Threads. Then I use either Windex Patches or TC No13 Bore Cleaner Patches to swab the Bore untill clean, followed by a dry patch or too. I then hold the barrel up to a light bulb to check it to make sure it is shinny clen, if not I repeate the process.
If it is clean enough I then take a patch saturated with Montana Extreme Bore Conditioner, or any GOOD Oil and run it through the barrel.
I then clean the Breech Plug well, completely and dry. Then I run a dry patch or two through the barrel to get the oil out leaving just a super fine coating of it in there, put breech plug grease on it's threads, or Tefelon Tape. install it, cover then end of the muzzle untill it's time to load again. Also if needed I spray some Birchwood Casey Barricade Gun Oil in the moving parts (action, trigger) just a little, and mabey wipe the outside of the barrel with it too and Im good.
