I never use any solvent that will attack lead. Every set of barrels I've seen wit loose ribs was coming apart at the muzzle and the lead/tin solder was deteriorated. I just use a thin oil and brush and patches. I made mention of that in a previous thread about loose ribs and was quickly told that I didn't know jAck .... Shoot-HoJo- I know: Jack, Jim, George, John- Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, George Dickel and John Jameson- betcha you do too. Woner if Sniffle-Bean is a shirt-tail relation to old Leon Leonwood Bean? Quien sabes, ey???

I just go ahead and grab a dedicated drill with rod chucked up in it holding a cleaning brush on the end wound with 4x steel wool. ANY KIND of oil works and gets everything out in under a minute. Never found anything that works as flawlessly...I do have a centering plastic sleeve, but a drilled out spent hull would probably work if you are concerned about the rod contacting the inside of the bore.

Might I add that I have learned a lesson on rust preventives. I never had a problem with Eezox on stored guns, but changed to the latest WD40 specialist rust prevention, principally because it won on a homegrown test of almost all preventives on iron plates placed out in the weather. Eezox placed well, but below the top in that test. Well...now I have some significant rust spots on a stored Beretta barrel which I am convinced would never have happened if I had not changed. Moral...go with what you KNOW. Thanks for all the suggestions nonetheless...Eezox was the new kid on the block at one time, after all.

The WD40 Specialist rust preventive tests look impressive.
Since it came out I've been using WD40 Specialist Silicone in my shop on some of my power tools (lathe chuck, band saw top..etc) and I'm seeing some rust.
I don't think I'd ever recommend putting it on a gun...unless it was one of Turd head Teds mOss'berg pumpers.

I wrap a cotton patch around a bronze brush, wet the patch with solvent, (Ballistol or Breakfree Clip or WD 40 or whatever) and push it through. Repeat a few minutes later. While waiting I use a chamber sized brush and patching on the chamber. Back to the bore brush and patch. Then switch to an old style blackpowder jag with a patch for final wipe before using the jag and an oiled patch. (I resize the jags to give me snug fit with the patch that passes the choke without undue force.)

If my shotgun gets wet for whatever reason I blast it down with WD-40 (what WD-40 was meant to do and that is raise the water or moisture off the metal) both inside and out then wipe that down and use an oil like Rem oil or 3 in 1. The reason I like WD-40 is, it works and its easy to get as its on sale everywhere.

Grandpa cheap prick, If a gun or tool rusts, it isn't the fault of the gun or tool, or the potion that was sprayed on it. It is the fault of the idiot that owns it. More proof, right here, for everyone to see. Did you ever get grandsonny that 5100 yet, so you two can watch it rust up together, or are you going to wait for him to divorce his third wife, and call it a combination gift? Best, Ted

If my gun gets wet, after breaking it down & soft clothing all visible water, I do like to let it air dry in the warm towel closet for a couple or three hours before cleaning
cheers

That's all I've ever done, Franc. No matter sentimental or dollar values, they're all used the same, hunted without concern for wet, snow, mud, fresh or salt water, to be shot and maintained for future hands. As a child, a youngster, I did the same thing. There's no rust on any of them. My .22 Mossberg 46B looks as good today as when my father bought it in 1941 at the Eaton store in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, before going overseas. Cleaning isn't a chore.
