Not trying to be sarcastic.
Not nearly enough information here.
If it decided not to say, do a regular cleaning of the weapon is not unique, you need a cleaning jag that you oiled patch run slip into the canyon cleaning.
But often outside JAG.
I prefer a buffer also been called Hole mop
Please note that if you clean the gun after the shooting had to clean all the residual dust content inside and outside of the weapon.
Black powder residue will destroy the weapon to fire if not removed.
Why? Creates a substitute for black powder and dust when you meet a very aggressive residues, which once attracted the most humid regions due to the air or nearby, is a form of acid,
If you've never done so before it cleanly on the Web and the search for weapons BLACK cleaning powder is not equal clean with modern weapons in the non-corrosive dust.
This is one of the shorter trips to black powder weapons.

Easy - Pull down the barrel with a stick and a ball in space and the rest should come naturally.

This is seen as a Jaguar, but is used only in the last purification step. Actually better to use a drum scanner, and the brush with solvent. I had to break me and use warm water and soap to really out of the mud.

You may have a Jaguar at the end of the stick to carry, but I think it will be more satisfied if they just a cheap source for gun cleaning kit. I hope you are aware that the cleaning of the smoke pole is the former much more intense (and loud), cleaning a firearm modern smokeless propellant. Just run a few patches of Hoppes # 9 will have a rusty spark wall hanger a few days.
