[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 158098, member: 376"] What I use: good quality one-piece cleaning rod... Dewey, Bore-Tech, Pro-Shot or others. bore guide... some swear by Lucas or other BR specialty ones; I get by pretty well w/ the white ones from Sinclair (or other) quality shooting sports suppliers. I *do not* like the Stoney Point or similar ones w/ the aluminum tube connecting two plastic parts, w/ a little handle to 'lock' it in places. Dang things never seem to seal well for me. Patches... somethng w/ some substance to them. Local store stocks Pro-shot patches (local hunter BR guys like 'em) and they seem to work pretty well. As far as chemicals... I've tried a variety of things over the years, and everybody has their favorites based on their experience. Currently I'm using Witches Brew per the directions, which seems to scrub the carbon out pretty effectively, then 3-4 patches of Wipeout Accelerator to push out the residue from the 'Brew and preps for the following 2-3 patches of Wipeout Patchout (got tired of dicking w/ the foam and the mess... seemed like in order to get enough to go all the way down the bore, I ended up w/ this little Mt. Vesuvius back at the breech end). Patches come out clean to a light grey after sitting a while (normally set things up down in the basement shop while I go wash my hands and go to supper, for instance). Afterwards, I wrap a big (3") patch (Pro-shot again) around a .45 cal pistol brush on a ~10" cleaning rod (from Sinclair's, but I'm guessing a pistol cleaning rod for long barreled revolvers would probably work as well) and patch dry the chamber and throat area (some residue of cleaning solvents seems to always find it's way in there, and thats a good way to flatten primers on the first couple rounds after cleaning when the case can't 'grip' the chamber walls evenly all the way around and the bolt face ends up taking all the pressure...). I follow that w/ a swipe w/ a bolt lug raceway cleaning tool and the little felt rolls... gets any gunk (like dirty bolt grease, or CLP [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )out of the bolt lug recesses or raceways. Put some fresh grease on the back of the bolt lugs and put it back together. Others are likely to disagree... strongly, but it works for me. YMMV, Monte [/QUOTE]
