I swear my mother used it to clean pots and pans!! Can you push it down the bores without getting stuck?

I found mine in my loading room. When these discussions about the Frontier Pad started a few weeks back, I just knew there was one in there somewhere. I have no idea how it got there. There is at least one of everything in there. I just have to be persistent in looking for "it".

If you call to order the pads while one is $6 ask about buying by the dozen. Very cheap then. I bought a dozen and then sold enough to friends that have a number of guns to recover my money and I have many left over.

For cleaning a barrel you cut a piece of it off and wrap it around a bronze brush. I ran mine at a slow speed with a drill and it did a lot of cleaning of the bore.

Please excuse the poor pictures. I just took them quick to show results I got from Frontier pad. I am sorry that I didn't take before pictures when I got this gun but was too anxious to get started on cleaning it up.
This gun was stored in a LOM case for too long and had so much superficial rust that you could not read the maker name on it. The auctioneer had it listed as a "P Sperenson". The barrels would not go together with the frame and so the gun laid on the table with the halves held together by a nice German sling. Red powder rust on everything, freckles on barrels. So I bought it as a project for $65.00! Cleanup took 2 hrs. with WD-40 and a piece of Frontier pad.
