The clean-up of my modern steel barrel MLs (Lyman GPR, TC Hawken)is a snap with water, dish detergent, a little scrubbing, drying, and a coat of Ballistol, Break-Free, or Cleanzoil. Typically a quick swab a few days later results in a snow white patch...Squeeky clean!
The .36 I just bought has a 25 year old H & H barrel which the builder said is a softer iron. Being a fullstock, I decided to just swab with a cleaner, dry patch, swab with cleaner.......repeat 1000 times :: and the patches NEVER end up coming out snow white :: Is this typical of softer iron barrels?
