A little different routine. I use Ed's red and dip the bronze brush in the bottle and run it to the end of barrel twice. End not out so it sprays all over. Repeat and do the other barrel. Let sit while cleaning out frame. Next use a Tornado brush the same way. Wipe out with t shirt piece pushed by cleaning rod.

This will leave nothing visible in the bore, forcing cone or chamber. Target guns after 5-6 hundred rounds may need the tornado brush on a variable speed drill to get the last of the plastic out of the forcing cone and a few streaks in the barrel.

A number of guns i have bought have had linear streaks in them after the initial cleaning and become more pronounced after a few days. I have used Hoppes lead remover and let it soak a day or so and they have come out. I think it is lead from the pre plastic days and not to good of a cleaning job from the previous owners going back a hundred years.
