[QUOTE="dsam, post: 5471112, member: 22430"] This is the way I do it. Get some bore cleaner and pour down in there. Let sit for a few minutes. Your need a small bore brush to scrape out all the residuals of the powder build up. Need get some q-tips with the wood handles, because the cotton the swab is tight and will not come apart inside the plug. Once the swabs show no dirt on them, get a sewing pin and push down in the small part of the plug several times. Make sure you wipe the end of the pin off every time. Then hold the plug up towards a light like in your garage, to ensure you can see all the way through the plug. I have never had a miss fire. If it is raining always cover the end of the barrel with your glove or whatever you have in the stand. Also, if you use pellets whether 2 or 3, make sure you do not have a lot of gun oil in that area! I use HOTWHITE PELLETS, 150 Grains in my Thompson. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
