For good cleaning in the field, the following items should be obtained:
1.) Cotton cleaning patches
2.) Worm
3.) Cleaning jag
3.) Barrel scraper
4.) Nipple pick
5.) Nipple wrench/screw driver combo tool
6.) 1"x1" scrap of leather for covering nipple
7.) Gun grease (NOT BORE BUTTER. I use RIG brand with a little bee's wax added to increase the melting point.)
These items are all you need in the field to properly maintain your weapon.
For a thorough cleaning at home, the previous items will be needed, along with the following:
1.) Lots more cleaning patches
2.) Hot soapy water
3.) Black powder solvent
4.) Pipe cleaners
5.) Gun oil in a spay can
6.) Green Scotch Bright pads (if your gun has an armory bright finish)
If it is so desired, classes on how to properly clean and maintain you weapon in the field and at home can be held at the Muster in September. Just let us know if this would be a good idea.
