When I clean the Staghorn I own..

[ul][*]remove the lock lug[*]remove the hammer spring[*]remove the hammer striker and striker cocking arm this will now allow you to go through the back of the rifle to the breech plug[*]with your breech plug removal tool, remove the breech plug. Set that dirty plug in a small container of soap and water to soak. You can also put the hammer striker in there with it. The end will be fowled for hitting the 209 primers.[*]remove the two locking lugs that hold the barrel into the stock[*]remove the two screws that hold the trigger assembly to the bottom of the barrel and take the barrel off. You should now have just the barrel that you can see through in your hands. I will tell you a couple ways I clean that barrel.[/ul]
[ol][*]take the barrel to a sink and using a cup pour hot soapy water through the barrel breech end, down through the muzzleend. This will rinse the major fowling out of the barrel. It is not clean mind you, but will clean up real fast.[*]take a breech brush and slide that into the back of the rifle. Squirt just a little soap on the nylon bristles. Now cover that breech with your hand or you will be cleaning up a mess. Start pushing that breech brush into the barrel over the breech plug threads. Work that soap into a lather. And then twist that brush in a clockwise direction. Pull it back out, and rinse the barrel with soapy water again. If you look the breech threads are now very clean, which is real important.[*]Saturate a patch with solvent. Push that saturated patch from the breech to the muzzle. Working it 2-4 inches at a time in short strokes. After you push it through, repeat the process with another solvent patch. I do normally three patches this way.[*]If you suspect lead, copper or plastic fowling in the barrel.. dip a brass brush in solvent and scrub the barrel in long strokes end to end. Never short stroke your brass brush as it kills them.[*]Now push a patch with some isopropyl alcohol on it ... through the barrel. This will help pull and remove any moisture in that barrel.[*]Now it is a matter of dry patching the barrel. It should really shine if you look through it. Any hard fowling might take some extra scrubbing but this normally makes a real clean barrel.[*]Take the trigger assembly outside and spray the guts of it with carburetor cleaner. Be careful is the trigger is plastic. Now shake it real hard with your hand. It will almost be dry. If you have an air compressor, squirt forced air into the trigger assembly. This will blow any moisture out of it. If not, pour some alcohol through it. Shake it again, and then squirt a few drops of gun oil on the spring and sear.[*]Clean the breech plug with solvent or soapy water. An old toothbrush will scrub that thing nice and clean. Wipe it down real good with patches to make sure it is dry. Also blow through he vent to make sure there is no moisture in there. Now re- grease it and put that back in the rifle barrel.[*]With a patch and good quality gun oil, swab that barrel bore. Make sure you cover it real well.[*]With that same patch wipe the bottom of the barrel with the trigger assembly fits.[*]Replace the trigger assembly.[*]wipe the hammer striker off real good. I use Q-tips to clean the nose of the hammer striker. Wipe that down the the oil patch as well and slide that back into the back of the rifle.[*]Put the hammer striker cocking rod in place.[*]replace the hammer striker spring[*]wipe the locking lug off with the oil patch. If it has a rubber O ring on the end, make sure to oil that as it helps seal the back of the barrel.[*]replace the locking lug nut.[*]Check the action and make sure it cocks, holds true and the trigger releases crisp and clean.[*]Wipe the rest of the barrel off and put it back in the stock.[*]wipe the locking lug nuts off and then put them back through the stock, locking the barrel in place.[*]Give the rifle a once over with the oil patch and the rifle should be ready to be stored.[/ol]
This was off the top of my head so I hope I did not miss anything . This should get you close to how to clean the rifle... anything I missed I am sure the others will add.
