I just use a couple of saturated patches in a citrus household cleaner till clean. Soak the breechplug in same cleaner. Brush the bore then wipe again, dry an put down a patch of lucas oil for rust prevention. Clean out plug with pipe cleaners an reinstall. Easy, simple and doesn't take long...works for me!!
