I used a gun care/cleaning product called G96 on the Repro. Just sprayed the interior of both barrels and let them sit for a bit. Then ran a bronze brush through each barrel and then the patches. All the crud/powder residue came out leaving the barrels clean. No big deal really. As I was trying to say in the beginning of this post, I was just surprised at the amount of powder residue remaining in the barrels from the RST loads I had used last Sunday on skeet. I only have used G96 on the inside of very fouled barrels, I don't use this product on any exterior surfaces as it may be to hard on surface finishes. I recall years ago, a drop of this stuff got on the outside of a double I had at the time and when I wiped it off, it left a 'spot' on the barrel, seemed to lighten the blued finish. So I only use it carefully on cleaning interior barrel surfaces. But it does clean and it is very good on my blackpowder rifle when needed.
