What is the best way to clean the inside residue from a breech plug?
Thanks,
Steve
I soak mine in vinegar, inside a small pill bottle,. Since I never store my MLs with breechplugs attached, I let it sit and soak for a couple days. Pipe cleaners, q-tips and a small safety pin opened up keeps things tidy in there. Afterwards, using the long red straw of my garage carb cleaner, I shoot short sprays of carb cleaner to remove any leftover residue - then let stand and air-dry for another day.
My muzzleloaders are stored in my gun safe with the gun's butt-stock up. That way I'm assured my breechplugs are bone-dry when I install them, prior to range day or hunting day.
