Every once in awhile I get asked 'how I clean the bore' - well today while cleaning the ULite I thought I would take the opportunity to show what I am doing.

Nothing 'earth shaking' but certainly easy and quick for me... And yet I know others probably have a method that is just as easy for them. This is just something that works for me and I have gotten pretty good at it...

One thing I fail to mention in the picture - The 'Weasel' has been lightly oiled with Montana X-Treme Bore Conditioner - a very little bit of it goes a very long way...



After this ready to go shoot again or store in the safe...

I basically do the same thing other then the bore weasel.

Usually since I swab with Windex or there about on the range, I will set the rifle up with the action open and squirt a good amount down the bore and let it run through the bore and out through the ignition system. Then a nice wet patch of Windex and that will force a lot of liquids through the ignition system. Since I shoot a lot of percussion cap inlines, this also cleans the insides of the nipple.

Once in the house I pull the nipple and do basically what you do with the same cleaners. Sometimes I use Simple Green instead of Windex. But at the end, I run dry patches until the bore is bone dry. Then I run a Birchwood Casey Barricade patch through the bore to protect it. Also swabbing about four times.

Now you think I would remember that< but for the life of me I don't. You sure it wasn't the Bore Snake?? You used ,

Ya but see... I think it is 'sneaky quick' and it reminds of a the borecleaningweasel whom you are familiar with!
