Hoppe's No. 9 and a cleaning rod with a swab and a copper brush for general cleaning inside the bores and the outside metal surfaces. Ballistol (sp?) for exterrior preservation and weatherproofing.

Hi Pam, I like the things mentioned but Shooter's Choice is my favorite bore cleaner. It removed plastic (from the wads) better than anything else I have ever tried. Tom

Pam - A bit off topic, but... have you ever visited the Wendell Gilley Bird Carving museum in Southwest Harbor? One of my favorite little museums.
