How I clean my Kibler Southern Mountain Flintlock | No more rusty muzzleloaders

This is by no means the ONLY or BEST way to clean your flintlock, or any muzzleloader. This is how I clean MY flintlock long rifle. In this video, I take you through my flintlock cleaning process in real-time to show you how I go from a nasty bore to a near perfectly clean muzzleloading barrel.

I use three products for this in order. I start with Ballistol, then Shenandoah Valley Cleaner, and then some Moose Milk. This process takes time and patience, but it ensures our muzzleloader stays rust-free. In the end, cleaning patches and solutions are the cheapest way to keep your muzzleloader in good condition.

After getting the bore and lock clean, I soak the bore with Clenzoil and run a light coat of clenzoil all over the stock and hardware to eliminate any black powder residue that may be lingering.

All the patches lined up

Here you can see all the patches I used in this process in order from first to last (left and right). This is a pretty simple process and gets the job done for me, it takes me about 1 hour to complete, so you are seeing about 50% of my time cleaning in the video above. The time I’ve cut is just time spent running patches down the bore.
