Cleaner...dish soap and hot water to clean after the range/hunting. I follow that up with some Breakfree CLP.
don't forget the denatured alcohol, you should always run a patch with this on it down the barrel and soak the break plug in it..as to evaporate ALL the moisture out of them before applying any lube for storing
CLP is good for the outside but too truly season the inside of the barrel you will want to use bore butter I like the pine scented

does bore butter really "season" a modern inline? I've heard it does not do anything special. Again, just some of what I've heard.
Take it down to your local gun shop and trade it in on a thompson center .54 cal hawken, you'll thank me later[;)]
gotta love the hawken.why you would waste money on an inline is beyound me. i would have spent my money on a 700 vls in .308

The inside of my SS Encore 50cal has a nice patina to it, as does my Hawken neither has any pitting
I don't know if it "really" works but its was the way I was taught to care for a muzzle loader barrel
There is no basis to seasoning your barrel like a cast iron skillet unless your barrel is made from cast iron and you use it to cook pizza.

I read it online, it must be true!! Nothin' like a seasoned bore, more accurate, lots easier to clean.
Same here
to each there own i guess, and they wonder why they can't get that crude ring out with just a spit patch?????
