L. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. The bore of a muzzleloader should be cleaned after every few shots dur-
ing shooting or whenever ramming the wads down the barrels becomes
at all difficult.
a. This will eliminate fouling which prevents proper seating of wads
(or ball) on powder.
b. This will also reduce danger of ramrod breakage.
2. Black powder fouling is extremely corrosive and can rust the barrel in a
short time. All muzzleloaders must be thoroughly cleaned after firing is
completed.
3. Use a black powder solvent or hot soapy water.
4. Pump it through the nipple hole with a patch and cleaning rod.
5. Flush with hot water and completely dry gun while still hot.
