What do you folks use to treat the inside of the barrel on your black powder guns after cleaning them? I have had a spray can of Rusty Duck for a long time but i think it will soon be empty !

I use Break-Free CLP when I'm done at the end of the season. I spray on (Pump spray) a heavy dose of it on a patch and run the patch and "lube up" the barrel good. But at the beginning of the next season I run a patch of bore solvent to remove the CLP.

I use Bore Butter (patch lube) at the end of my cleaning. In the Fall and Winter we have a fire going in the wood stove and if I've shot my rifle I'll clean the barrel with hot soapy water, dry it good with patches, lay it on the wood stove for a few minutes to get it hot, and then run a patch filled with Bore Butter down the barrel running it back and forth a few times. Then I run a dry patch down just once. Done. The next time out I just load up. I'll check the barrel the next day or so to look for any signs of rust. Never have found any. I stay away from any petroleum based products in my flinter.

Bore Butter is primarily a patch lube and does NOT prevent rust. Heard horror stories of those who used as a rust preventative as it slowly cruds up bbl containing no rust inhibitive properties. No longer use BB even as a patch lube as mink oil is far better.
Best to scrub bbl with hot soapy water assuming shooting black powder. After dry give a lite coat of rem oil or comparative. Before shooting swab bbl with alcohol or lighter fluid etc patch to remove all oil.

CS...with BH209 I found that a regular solvent such as Hoppes no.9 etc. works really good. Hoppes Bench rest is even better if shooting copper plated bullets such as Powerbelts plus some of the Barnes bullets. The hot soapy water works best with black powder.

Yup. OTOH....I only use Blackhorn in my in-line. For my Flinter rifle and pistol it's BP all the way!!

For cleaning between shots at the range(black powder).... I use Windex W/Vinegar. It is ammonia free and does an outstanding job. Used to use TC no 13 and like this better plus is much cheaper.

I posted this method once on a black powder sight several years ago ........they said your crazy.....well I never had to scrap a black powder gun did I

Wow!! Some comprehensive testing there!! Looks like Frog Lube fared best in many areas.

Hoppes Bench rest is even better if shooting copper plated bullets such as Powerbelts plus some of the Barnes bullets. The hot soapy water works best with black powder. Do you run a brush thru? I guess my question is what is the quickest and easiest way to clean an inline with blackhorn. Currently I have some CVA foaming cleaner that I spray in and wait an hour. I then run thru a bunch of patches until clean. Then I use a rust inhibitive patch and I am done. The breach plug and firing pin, I soak in some CVA parts cleaner solution. Should I be doing something different that is easier/quicker?

CS....I just use a patch with the Hoppes Bench Rest as it's really potent and totally dissolves all bbl residue on well maintained bbls. Use a bore light for inspection and if bbl shows the need...a brush can be used. I run brushes through end of each season.
I know CVA make a good copper solvent I've used over the years. Also, heard good reports on the CVA foaming cleaner but never used it. I'd just use it up and if you want simpler give the Hoppes Bench Rest a try.

End of season, I hot water swab it. I use a brush with a patch over it, as it provides more suction than the jag with a patch. Not only that, the patch never falls off with the brush like it does with a jag. After drying bbl, I run a liberal patch of Olive Oil through. Dry patch the Olive Oil out prior to the next season.
