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 have never done before he cleaned this wayon the Web and to clean the search for weapons BLACK cleaning powder is not the same as the use of modern firearms 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.
