What do you use to clean your shotgun magazine tube?

[minnesota1]

I'm curious as to what you use to get in there and clean them.  I know most don' t do it, but I know I've gotten crap in there and was wondering if there's a special tool or device you use to clean one on your standard duck hunting non extended tube one and also on an extended magazine tube for shotguns.

 

Thanks.

Standard bore mop .  Sometimes I'll rap a patch around a brush. Go up one guage if necessary.

Wad up a blue shop paper towel and push it through with cleaning rod.

I use Tampax Super tampons and a bottle brush.

 

I also use the tampons on the barrel.   I got some funny looks from Police Officers when I cleaned thier shotguns at the station.  I was theier Armourer at the time.

I use my Tico tool, just like I use to keep my barrels clean. Been using mine for 30+ years and while it is a bit grubby it still works good, quick and easy.

Patch on a standard bore brush works nicely. 

 

A "super" tampon huh.

Yup!  They expand larger that the regular.  Also good for 20 ga.

Brownells has magazine brushes.  Or at least they did at one time.  I use what I have after a soak in the tank with Prolix.

That has always worked for me.

Next time I’m at the grocery store I’m going to be spending way too long a time  reading the labels of feminine hygiene products.

 

Nice business opportunity for someone to repackage tampons and douche as “21st-Century Weapon Cleaning Products”!

Hey, it worked with Crisco!  Just add a dab of mint fragrance.
