Black powder residue
Simple.

Boil a kettle and pour the boiled water down the barrel.

Pull it through with a bore snake.

Pass cleaning cloths through again .

Repeat until clean, oil

Even better method.

Buy some Balistol in spray can and liqiud form

Mix the liquid form 1 part balistol to 10 parts water.

Pour the boiling water down the barrel, spray the balistol\ water mix (nick name "Mooses Milk") down the barrel.

Pull through with a boresnake. Pass a couple of cleaning patches down the barrel. Should be clean now.

Take the spray and lightly spray down the barrel and all over the gun.

It should now be clean and protected. Balistol is good for protection of all metal parts and woodwork. No petrocarbons, all natuaral ingredients. Legally a food. Good for wound care etc.

Balistol can be obtained at Serious Shooters in Penrose. Its the BP shooters secret weapon.

After a competition I can clean my rifle, two pistols and shotgun in about 20 min all in using the above methods.

umm... oops - I seem to have left my 3M ("slap in the face" orange) earmuffs behind - I think one of Dincan's kids was wearing them?

Anyhoo - let me know if they show up. Probably cheaper to get new ones than return them from whence they came etc.

Thanks again Chris - a bloody good day

Just had news from the NSA forum

Our court case against the Police over their new interpretation of a MSSA has gone our way.

The Police have lost.

Our rational arguemnnts have swayed the judge.

Thumbhole grips are not MSSA.

More news as I receive it

Top man - cheers.

Just thinking about it - we could have used those hulls at 20, 50 and 100m for some serious target shooting...!

WOW! So how much reparation gets paid to those that were forced to either shell out on better safes or forced to surrender firearms?

Was about to say, Mitch (teen that came with Duncan and I) was going to pick them up along with Duncan's orange ones but Duncan said they weren't his. Figured they were still somewhere at Chris's.

WE WON! The police re-classification of what is considered a 'Military Style Free Standing Pistol Grip' has been overturned.

Holy hell, that's a good feeling.

Time to figure out the next target!

Yeah, the hand-in is an interesting one but may be a difficult nut to crack due to the way the law hands off responsibility ot the 'commissioner'. Forcing the conditions imposed under this ability to be listed in plain view similar to the current laws would be a good start.

The TardeMe issue could certainly do with a closer inspection too.

So many things that could be done.

I'm guessing there is also going to be an AA #4 defense on the list somewhere there too...

Indeed. That's very concerning. I took a call from the big cheese at Trademe a while ago and he skilfully dodged the question of how they validate the FA license numbers. To my mind there are only two ways... an algorythm to generate them (in which case TM can creat the things... ?!?) or a list of valid ones to compare them against which I find more palatable if they have no other information. The Priovacy Commissioner was ok with what TM were doing also

The best news it I guess SexyLex can keep his 10/22 with the thumbhold stock...

Oh well, you'll just have to find something else criminal to do... Dealing in illegal arms sounds much more fun than owning a thumbhole stock, doesn't it?

Being a navy boy - I'm sure there's other places to stick yer thumb?
