Heavily Leaded Barrel, how do I clean it?
The breech plug is permanently affixed on this .50 cal caplock, and the bore is leaded.
I tried Hoppes #9 for various amounts of time, and scrubbed with a patch. No lead.
A .50 cal brush I fear will not come out, because the bristles will fold over when being rammed in, and then cannot be yanked back out.
Ideas?
Thank You

Use the Veral Smith method.Take a one caliber smaller brass brush and wrap it with a piece of Chore Boy copper pad.Most important is to find Chore boy pads that are all copper.Use a magnet to test them before purchasing.Ripshod
