NOTE ON THE CLEANING OF SMALL-BORE RIFLES 

 BURNING NITRO POWDERS 



Cleaning is a far less easy operation when cordite, 

 etc., is used, than when the fouling is due to black 

 powder. Plenty of friction with the cleaning rod, 

 supplemented when necessary by the use of hot 

 water, and the application to the interior of the 

 barrels after cleaning of a special preparation called 

 " Nitroclene," are the most satisfactory means of 

 keeping such rifles in good order. They should 

 be cleaned as soon as possible after use.
