Default gotta be an easier way to clean inlines

After getting back from shooting a TC Thunder Hawk/ 209 system with my son. Proceeded to remove bolt and nipple.Inserted nipple with rubber hose siphon attachment I use on my Renegade.Pumped hot soapy water through etc. What a mess.Also had to remove barrrel/action lubricating to prevent rust. The mainspring is new and a bear to re-install. I have a couple cans of CVA barrel blaster. Can this be used without stripping the entire gun or will it rust? It has a Timney trigger as well.I know the bolt needs to be removed but the stock as well? Hornady .44 240gr HP's and two Pyrodex pellets/CCI primers went into a little over two inches at 100 yards.May try IMR White Hots and Fed primers.Was using green TC sabots and have the black Hornady as well.What do you use for lubing the bore when putting it away? I ran a patch with bore butter on it for now..more load development to follow........Harold
