Hello all. I was reading through the thread about cleaning our MLs when it reminded me of something I have been meaning to ask about cleaning.

I am a flintlock shooter and love it. I was wondering how other perc/flintlock shooters go about cleaning their locks.

Usually I remove the frizzen and main springs and leave the rest of the mechanics in place. IE: the sear, sear spring, etc. and then scrub everything with a brush and iso/windshield washer fluid. When clean, dry and oil.

Does anyone have a faster, easier technique? Maybe just drop the whole lock in warm water, scrub, dry and oil?

Thanks.
