Why do threads get moved around when you are talking about cleaning a flintlock frizzen/pan etc.
Never seen such ah...well never mind.

I'm trying to go waterless period.
No, just did it when way out "in the bush" (Canada). LOTS of water there, but used Hoppes... It may be a "see what works for you" situation in a more arid area.
Heard of hunters "making there own water" into the barrel to clean barrels.. :redface:
I don't believe it's rocket science to clean a rifle. You're cleaning the lands and grooves for accuracy, then rust proofing.
Good luck! :thumbsup:

We see this problem on a regular basis at the shope, and for the same reasons.--"My buddy says this is the way its done".

I'd be darned careful with that stuff. It is literally strong enough to sink a battleship. :rotf: :rotf:
