I have several traditional sidelock rifles and have had a cleaning dilemma for years now. Is it possible to completely remove corrosion remnants from the inside of the butt? I can scrub with hot soapy water and a brush for hours. All the same, when I think I'1000 washed, I can run a clean white patch, existent tight, to the bottom and back, and become traces of lite brown on the patch. Granted, some of my guns I did not buy new and they were left to corrode to some caste prior to my owning them. Can any procedure, materials, etc, be practical to stop the corrosion process and completely make clean what's at that place now?
Any advice/assist appreciated.

I employ a solution of rubbing alcohol, hydro-peroxide, and Murphy's oil soap mixed in equal parts and then stored in a dark container. I assume this is important because of the peroxide. Pour a petty down your bore while plugging you nipple or touch pigsty if your shooting a flintlock. Allow it soak for a few minutes, pour it back out and and then soak patches with the solution and start cleaning the bore. Afterwards outset running damp patches to ensure information technology is make clean and follow up with a lightly oiled patch.

I started using a canteen of cleaner called Crawly a couple years ago. Information technology's a house hold cleaner and degreaser, whatsoever dollar store should have it and its merely a buck. After cleaning the barrel I always apply T/C bore butter.

Information technology doesn't affair how quickly the inside of your bore dries, you will get some rust. Do you only you are doing with the hot, soapy water. After it dries I dry brush the barrel out to get whatever rust that may have formed and then I run as many patches at it takes with oil until it comes out as make clean as I can go it. So I run diameter butter through and have had no bug.

My brother and I use Hoppes 9 Plus Black Powder solvent, nosotros get a bucket of hot water and squirt a couple of shots down in the water and put the barrel in the bucket and castor it & so run several patches on the jag upwards and downwards the barrel. Swab information technology dry and then similar phillipfleek sez, swab information technology with the T/C Bore Butter. It works well and I actually similar the Bore Butter, we utilise it for our patch lube and it really helps with the fouling and supposedly seasons the butt also.
