Everyone but me and two others know about this!!

[chorizo]

I checked with the Commander in Chief about getting a steam cleaner. She didn’t say No, she said Hell No.

Get it anyway.....what she going to do, ban you to the cabin?

Of course this is a man with two ex-wives so take that advice for what it is worth.

Do we need to start a Go Fund Me drive for you? It IS the new age thing to do.

This I CAN agree with!

That’s not a bad idea!

OK, I toss in $10 as seed money. I can't stand to see a Brother go in need.

Maybe we could get Willie Nelson to do a SteamAide Concert.

Oh Man that would be awesome! But we better do it quick, Willie’s not getting any younger!

I can hear the theme song now: White smoke, nothing but white smoke do I see.

Of course with Willie, that may have a whole different meaning!

i bought a wall paper steamer/steam cleaner at an estate sale. paid 15.00 for it and then saw it on sale at harbor freight for 11.99! my typical way of spending money.
one thing though, if you use steam cleaner be careful using it on a browned barrel. get the barrel too hot and your brown is the new black!
don't ask how i know.

 

[bang]

Never used them. A hose, bottle and tight patch with a 15 minute soak and the pressure pushing an pulling the soapy water through the channel will clean it real slick.
Handy in he field or at range though. Still, never had to in the field or at range in 45 years.

Now, you're leading an honest man down a tangled trail of deceit. Be up front. Divorce 'em, like I did.

I like the idea though.

That’s Funny.

Why? You want to die with money in your pocket? I got rid of two wives, don't need a "forum" wife telling how to spend my money. Do I need to hire a divorce lawyer to get you off of my back?

I read this while taking a drink, you ow me a keyboard sir!

 

[gunpa]

You guys are killin me! Got a steam cleaner never knew what it was really good for!

Then my work is done here

I was steaming some stained grout in the kitchen and doing the hardwood floors. Took a break and read about somebody using the expensive Perdersoli Gun steam cleaner that was in that video. When I went back to steaming the grout, I looked at what I had in my hands and said to myself, "Self, I bet this will clean out the breech in the damn CVAs like nobody's business" Self was right too!

It now gets more frequent use on my ML guns than house cleaning. Cuts cleaning time in half and leaves the breeches carbon free

 

[stephenprops1]

The curse of not having other traditional ML shooters to learn from or ML events nearby ..you discover by accident things that work
Cleaning fire channels between the chamber and drum is part of every rifle clean up for me and my faithful limp as a rag pipe cleaner has been my goto for this very important task ..along with wire, paper clips and anything else one might scratch his ear with
I had casually seen the CVA pipe cleaners right??? ..seen not read is the key word here ..these rascals have teeth just like a bore snake ..stiff fibers carry out chunks of crud the steel bristles break loose and it did so on what I thought was a fairly clean fire channel
So this is for you other two guys who have not heard or read of this either!
Hey we may even get some new ideas thrown out to make this part of cleaning an maintenance even easier

I have used these pipe cleaners for many years.

 

[TC Tommy]

I bought one a couple of years back, never thought of using it to clean out barrels. You don't have to spend $150 to
get one that works. This one that I picked up is a hand held model, does clothes, drapes etc.
The reason I bought it was, it gets dents out of stocks really well, and it fits in a shoe box, OK, a boot box.
Uses distilled water. Amazon has them for as little as $36.00, and that's a Bissell.

 

[SOLANCO]

If you can’t find the CVA cleaners anymore. Find a good cigar store, they will have the same wire bristle pipe cleaners. And pretty cheap, been a while since I bought any, but that’s what I use.

I'd have to drive 90 miles into downtown Philadelphia just to get to the only two stores I know of selling pipes. I hope muzzleloaders don't disappear like pipes have.
