I own the Renegade & Omega! Both take the same amount of time to clean. Cleaning nipple holes, around hammers & power-flushing the bore with soapy water takes the same amount (or) less time than unscrewing breechplugs, cleaning them, anti-seizing them, inserting them, cleaning the Omega hammer/plunger area, cleaning residue from the trigger area and just below the hammer/plunger area.
DITO to all, I have a TC Hawkins and an Omega,both take the same amount of time to do a good job on them.But I never really understood all the fuss everyone makes about cleaning muzzleloaders,the main thing is to just do it in a timely fashion when you are done using it,15 min. isn't to much to ask to be able to hunt with blackpowder or substitutes is it?
