Our club had a three day shoot last weekend. I shot the three revolver matches
and a 10 shot practice which was a total of 40 shots. It was around 50 degrees
and I am a old man and get cold easley. I normally clean my pistols at the
range but I was cold so just put the revolver in the car. This was on Saturday.
Didn't get around to cleaning it until Tuesday . When I pulled it out of the case
I said to the wife "Did you clean this already". She said "No" I kid you not, after
40 shots it looked like it had never been shot. I won't be shooting it again for at
least 6 months with winter comming on. I did take out the cylinder and nipples
which are Tesco and ran a water soaked patch thru the barrel. Dryed it then
gave it a shot of WD-40 and I'm done. Took about 5 min. Spotless and ready
to go again. I only strip my revolvers down complete mebby every three years
or so. They get shot about 500 times a year. The revolver, Euroarms 1858
Remington . Load, 18 grs Swiss FFF, .454 ball with enough creme-of-wheat to
bring the ball flush with the face of the cylinder, Beeswax & oil lube over the ball.
CCI no. 11 caps
