One of my favorite cleaners

is Blue Wonder.  I haven't used their bluing and other stuff, but their gun cleaner works quite well.

It's a thin gel.  Put some on a bronze or brass brush, push it back & forth through the bore 5 or 6 times, then some more and repeat, and let it sit a while.  Depending on how dirty/fouled it is, that can be anywhere from ten minutes to a few hours, then brush again, then patches to clean it out.

It seems to do very well at working under fouling and freeing it from the steel.  And for surface rust, some of it on 0000 steel wood, rubbed lightly, cuts the rust without harming the finish around it.

Hard to find most places, so you may have to order it, but it's nice to have around.


Brought to mind because I just had to order some, my only tube is almost empty.
