Is a smoothbore for me?

There is a new method for cleaning your new smoothie when you get it, without taking the barrel out or hooking tubes up to buckets of water...it's called "RAT's WATERLESS" and you just get a good black powder solvent like Hoppe's #9+ and clean it with that, then go to regular Hoppe's and then some Kroil, wipe dry and oil it. Somewhere in there run a bore brush down the bore three or four times. Use wet but not sopping wet patches and there will be no mess.

:blah:

No buckets of hot soapy water running all over a nice firearm and WATER seeping into the breech plug threads, under the stock etc. !!!

:blah:

Well how could I refuse that opportunity? However you clean it you'll find that a smoothie cleans up easier than a rifled bore.

:m2c:

You do know Hoppes 9+ is 60% water, don't you? :crackup:

 

The NEW-NEW WAY to clean- just use wet tow, follow with dry tow, finish with oily patch...

Yep I know #9+ is water-based...

:curse:

But...when I use it, I'm using damp to wet patches, and not sloshing huge amounts of water around inside my barrel. Not really giving it time to soak into the breech plug threads.

Also not spilling water/having water slop into/over the stock, etc.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it anyhow.
