Did the hot water suction thing in the sink. Must have gotten it pretty clean as only a tiny bit of black charcoal came out the nipple.
Thanks for the help guys
You have to take out the nipple to do it. The nipple is too small a hole to do it right.
I use a plastic bucket. How can you do it in the sink? The barrel needs to be vertical when you're swabbing the water in and out.
I clean them in the sink all the time. Put the plug in, fill it up halfway with hot water, shoot some dish soap down the bore, and have at it. If it's really dirty, I change the water a couple of times. After it's clean, I use alcohol in the bore, let it dry thoroughly, then oil it. No rust yet.
