I jsut use the bore snake to get most of the crap out of the barrel. Then i will properly clean it still with a rid and patches. I just pull it through a few times to make it a little easier to clean.

Well clean the bore like you would a rifle. Then after you have field stripped the reciever use a clean patch and some bore cleaner to clean all the parts inside the reciever and the reciever inside and out. When the patch gets dirty then get a new patch. Keep doing this until everything is clean. Once it is all clean then you lightly oil everything and reassemble.

RE: cleaning 12 gauge problems
Mossbergman....I've cleaned some nasty weapons for other people before, especially muzzle loaders and what I've found work best for some bad build up is....runbore cleaner with a bore brush heavy in the barrel a few times. Let it sit for a couple of hour just like that. Thenrun the brush with cleaner a couple more times. Take a couple of patches thru it. Now this I think does the trick...I tear up a old Tee shirt and make "tight" patches a force them thru the barrel ( by tight I mean snug) I do this with clean tees until they come clean. Then oil'er up as prescribed. On some of the tougher Muzzle loaders, I've left the bore cleaner in over night.
