Old,Grumpy and Still Kicking!

[Jedidiah]

Been around ML for many years but have not shot always shot that much due to time consuming cleaning etc. I need to get back into it and give it another try!

Welcome from AZ. To me muzzleloaders are easier to clean then modern weapons. Except for that I guess one can get away with not cleaning modern weapons sometimes.

Maintenance of anything is essential, if you want to keep it in good working order. Establish a cleaning routine and stick with it. It gets easier as time goes on.

I don’t think I invest more than twenty minutes cleaning. It’s too easy to let that interfere
Using traditional or some cleaner in a bottle the best was is the way that leaves it clean, all are the best way.
Ask ten shooters get a hundred answers, but all boil down to the same thing

Welcome to the forum. Old and grumpy should fit right in, but it's almost impossible to remain grumpy in a cloud of black powder smoke!

Learn to enjoy the clean up. Makes it all better.

Welcome back. One thing that I found is that I don't like to clean my guns after I get home after a shoot. I'm tired and it's just a hassle. I clean them at the range right there at the loading table. I get it done faster, and I actually enjoy it. When I get home I just put everything away and I'm done!

 

[Omahkapi'si]

Yup, me too. Clean at the range & done.

Fired about 30 shots from a flintlock yesterday. All alone at the farm just enjoying the smoke. Wipe the bore with a couple of wet patches, clean the outside of the lock, run a greased patch down the bore and go home for a coffee.

It gets fully cleaned in the gunroom afterwards. It can even wait a day or so if need be.

Welcome from Maine. I use spit for lube and clean with glass cleaner, not time consuming for me.
