How do you prep your C&B revolver for an outing?

[Rifleman1776]

Whenever any of my ml firearms are going to be taken a distance from my tools I always completely degrease, usually with carburetor cleaner. Then I load normally and then swab the bore with a protectant like Barricade or even WD-40.

I use an air compressor to blow out the chambers and barrel. Then load normally, and keep in a flapped holster. I prefer to hunt in the rain, in Oregon it often obliges. It always goes off. When I am done I clean and I treat everything with ballistol.

I left my Remington capped, loaded with paper cartridges, and in a leather holster for a year. I finally took it out a fews days ago and it shot 100% in all cylinders.

You mean all “chambers” fired.

I have a small glue type bottle filled with vaseline to place on/around nipples. Works well, and greasiness is expected.
