    With properly annealed cartridge cases, the chamber is sealed and no fouling gets into the action. Cleaning a '92 after shooting black is way easier than doing it after firing with smokeless. Wet patch, dry patch, oil patch, and you're done.

    Soak the bore with Ballistol, let it set for awhile, flush it out with hot water, 2 passes with a bore snake, and then an oily patch.
