    ignorant question so bear with me please

    Is the rifle a cap or flint lock...there is some difference in cleaning methods...and probably as many different methods as there are shooters. Anyway, if it is a cap lock, first remove the nipple, and there is a device that you can buy with a fixture on one end that screws into the hole left...
