A CLEANING TIP............

Some of you may already do this but in case it helps someone I will post it.
When I have finished my day's clay shooting ( I don't hunt in any form) I always pull my barrels through a couple of times with this kit. Very easy to make and VERY effective in cleaning the bores.
As you can see it is an empty brass case on a length of cord that has a loop at one end. Into the loop put a nylon stocking or the leg cut from a pair of nylon tights. Here I must stress that it a good idea to tell the wife; a) WHY you have tights/nylons in your possession and b) That you only use ones that are thrown away - not from the neighbours washing line 
The abrasive nature of the nylon will take away most of the dirt from the bore and thus make final cleaning whan you get home and find the time to do it so much easier. The same principal can be used on rifles and pistols by reducing the size of the piece of nylon and of course , the pullthrough
