equal parts murphys oil soap,hydrogen peroxide,and rubbing alcohol.store in brown bottle because sunlight breaks down hp. plug nipple with whatever and fill barrel,let sit 15 min, patch and oil patch. good to go.

I use Windex and Vinegar. Works pretty good.

I never thought of cleaning a muzzleloader that way!!Thats a good idea,I just got into muzzleloading this summer.They are very hard to get clean.What do you usually plug the nipple with?Do you just dump the cleaner out after 15 mins or do you use a patch with a little cleaner in it and swab it out?

I will try it next time.

ase a wadded up cleanimg patch or anything that will seal off nipple but cork could get caught in nipple. tire patch might work. different guns seal different.

amonia and vinegar? Both are acids...Black powder and pyrodex are acids. Probably not a good idea long term. Be sure you are rinsing it out afterwards and oiling well.

I thought vinegar was a base?

 

[BC from LC]

Nope, you are right. Acid it is. My fault

 

[BC from LC]

Acetic acid is the most prominent acid in vinegar, too.
