Article: 1:12 I would like to hear some of the various opinions on gun cleaning. Topics such as how often, and with which brand cleaners and oils. I have a feeling that these opinions will vary quite a bit, so a mail response is OK, and I'll summarize later. My inexperienced opinion is to follow the recommendation of the Outers cleaning kit that I have. They recommend a cleaning and oiling immediately after the weapon is used. The cleaning process is to use a wire brush to remove remaining lead deposits in the barrel, then use patch soaked in solvent to remove powder, dirt, etc., and then dry patch, and then oil. The exterior is wiped with a patch soaked in solvent, and then dry wiped, and then oiled. The weapon is then ready for storage. They especially warn against fingerprints as potential sources of rust. Thanks for the info. Don Blevins
