I use a mixture a blackpowder siloet shooter told me. Take a empty water bottl pour in equal parts of peroxide/rubbing alcohol/ and merphies oil soap. I run a patch soked in this through the barrel ther 5 to 6 dry patches a oils patch then another dry than lean the rifle upside down in a ccorner untill needed next. Also if you have a online put the breach plug in small bowl pour solution over it take out wipe dry use pipe cleaner in fire hole. We use to use soapy water untill a guy told me and my dad this solution and it works alot better. I enjoy cleaning all my guns this takes me 15 mins.

Another thing I do not understand is people purchase an inline because some claim, " traditional rifles are so time consuming to clean." When I heard that I kind of shook my head in disbelief. I would rather clean a traditional rifle any day of the week over a inline rifle.
Maybe the inline since I can see through the barrel, I get too fussy. I really am kind of a nut when it comes to getting it clean.

I will just say.....
I bought the Lehigh NFPJ conversions and use BH209 for a reason.
After a few hours at the range i can come home to this.
Now getting them out every now and then for a good wipe down and inspection i do enjoy if i havent been using them much.

I could be cleaning right now, but let a small fork horn walk @ 15 yards. Hard to tell about the rut here in VA...seemed like there was more activity around Nov 1, but theoretically we should be hitting prime in the next week or so. Good luck
