Old, When I clean my TC Hawken .50 cal that I have had since the 70`s I use the hottest water I can stand through my thick leather gloves with lots of liquid soap. I remove the nipple and pull it up into the bbl many times. Replace the water with fresh Hot water to rinse the bbl out. Then after it has sat and dried a few minutes then put a good gun oil on it. Put the nipple back on and put her away. If you have swamp cooler,evaporative airconditioning or live in a high humidity area you want to watch for signs of rusting quite often. It is not a good idea to keep black powder in the home due to static electricity setting the can off. Some areas have pretty strict rules for storing that stuff.
