the sight-slots on the barrel. It is ad- 
visable to use a small brass or copper 
rod about an eighth of an inch in di- 
ameter, to move the sights and strike 
this with a mallet so as to avoid injury 
to the barrel or battering the base of 
the sight. If the ivory on a sight turns 
yellow it can be whitened by exposure to 
the sunlight. 
Nothing outside of rust makes a rifle 
more unsightly than the presence of 
screw-heads that have been damaged by 
carelessness or by using a screwdriver 
that did not fit the slots properly. The 
use of a nail or an iron punch to remove 
the pins and driving out or replacing the 
sights by hammering them with an iron 
instrument, are other indications of 
carelessness that one should avoid. Using 
the butt of a gun as a club or a tool to 
probe unaccessable places and the barrel 
as a crowbar, are practices that not only 
do much damage to the weapon but 
sometimes result in a serious accident. 
Heads of screws or the tips of pins can 
be reblued by holding them in a gas 
flame until the desired color is obtained, 
but it is not possible to reblue the barrel, 
frame or other large parts by this 
method. 
There are a number of styles of clean- 
ing-rods on the market, a few of which 
one should avoid. Rods that have an en- 
larged flattened head, through which a 
slot is made, are the cheapest and poor- 
est of the different styles. They do not 
permit an easy back-and-forth move- 
ment of the cleaning-rod and it is very 
easy to scratch or injure the rifling by 
their use, especially if they are made of 
steel. The head of the rod, where the 
slot for the cleaning patches is located, 
should be of no greater diameter at any 
point than that of the rod itself. Either 
the tip of the rod or the handle should 
revolve so as to allow the rod to follow 
the rifling with the least resistance. 
Brass makes the best cleaning- rod, but 
in cleaning high-power rifles it is ad- 
visable to use a steel rod which is not 
dissolved by ammonia or other prepara- 
tions that are used to remove the metal 
fouling. A cleaning-rod should always 
be introduced from the breech end of the 
barrel, if possible, instead of from the 
muzzle. If it is necessary to introduce 
the rod from the muzzle, care must be 
taken to prevent injury to that delicate 
part of the rifle-bore. Jointed cleaning- 
rods are generally preferable to the solid 
or one-piece rods. 
Canton flannel makes the best clean- 
ing patches. Procure one or more yards 
of this material and wash it in hot water 
and then dry thoroughly. This will make 
it limp and more absorbent. After one 
has determined the size of the patches 
best suited to his use, a large number can 
be cut up into rectangular and uniform 
pieces at one time. This will give a 
good supply of handy cleaning-patches 
that will save much time and trouble and 
help considerable to lighten the task of 
cleaning a rifle. 
T here are a number of high-grade 
gun oils on the market and every 
shooter should have a liberal supply on 
hand at all times and use it freely, but
