50 cal. Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle

As a follow up, i did get the shape of the breach. Its a cone like the Cone Heads. Got it simply by running couple of soaked patches down the bbl. and using the worm jag and twisting the cleang rod several times and then pullig them out. Then i just kept doing that until the patches came out clean.now i can see that a brush or the normal flat faced jag cannot get it cleaned out.it was suprising to see how much crud i got out of a rifle i thought to be nearly spotless.
 
Thanks for the suggestions on cleaning the breech. At Friendship's primitive range, my friend's Browning fouled after about seven shots and he couldn't get it to fire. Normal wiping down the bore didn't work and he stepped off the firing line.
