Indian Torador Barrel Investigation

Rick,

For cleaning, water and likely a wool mop attached to a rod would work. Wool would compress to enter the chamber, and fluff out again to fill it.
When dry, an oiled wool mop would work to prevent rust.

As you say, patches would be asking for trouble!

Hi Richard.
Yes, similar to a shotgun cleaning mop. Assuming the mop would expand enough. I'll test hat out once the breech is open.

You can make your own wool mop with raw wool and as big and fuzzy as needs be, Rick.

Yes, that's a good idea. Thanks.

BUMP!!
Hello all. I received the barrel back from the gunsmith with the breech plug drilled out. I have a few photos, so I'll start a new Thread as Part-2. The findings are most interesting.
Rick.
