Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada I'm soaking my barrels

In Hoppes.

I'll finish them tomorrow, but I have found this is the best way to clean everything. Having them soak helps loosen some of the crud, but most importantly, forces me to finish everything up properly.

Single shot barrels are super easy to clean this way. I have a 223, 7.62x39 and a 30-30 barrel rubber corked on one end and the tube filled with Hoppes.



The corked end sits in an old plastic container, in case the cork fails.



This is a pick of the 223 Wylde filled to the top.
