Title: cleaning funneling cone on revolver?
Post by: DeltaM on November 12, 2012, 06:05:47 PM

I've always had a problem with this.  Even worse now that I reload lead.  I just can't get to it.  Any ideas?

Yep, order a Lewis Lead Remover.  Try Midway and or Brownells.  Note they a caliber specific.

Seriously I have a couple of short, cut off brushes that I use without a handle to scrub the "forcing cone".   My favorite, hard-to-reach spot is the area in between the barrel and the top strap.

Thanks.  "Forcing cone" ;), got it now.  Anatomy wasn't one of my better courses.

Yep, best tool in the world for removing lead from the forcing cone.

and when you get away from fooling around with those antique wheelie gun thingies, rethread it to take an AR chamber brush  ;D
