Appl. No.:
6/300647
Inventors:

International Classification:

Abstract:
Apparatus for cleaning the longitudinal bore in the barrel of a flintlock muzzleloading type rifle without removing the barrel from the stock and wherein the barrel has a touchhole formed in its breach end normally covered by the lock assembly. The apparatus includes a tubular drain member having a radial flange on which is mounted an annular seal adapted for sealing engagement with the barrel circumferentially of the touchhole opening after removal of the lock assembly. A mounting clip attached to the drain member facilitates releasable mounting of the apparatus on the barrel. In cleaning the bore, the lock assembly is removed from the stock to expose the touchhole, the drain member is mounted on the rifle by the mounting clip so as to seal about the touchhole opening, and a flushing liquid or solvent is poured down the barrel bore and discharged through the touchhole and drain member to a receptacle.
