I have a Henry Golden Boy and I'm somewhat puzzled as to how best to clean the rifle. The manual suggests cleaning from the muzzle to chamber, obviously a big no-no, on account of potentially damaging the crown.
I've considered three possibilities in cleaning. Does anyone have experience with these methods and/or can recommend what you consider the best method?
a. purchase a boresnake and thread it from the chamber to muzzle.
b. purchase a muzzle guard and clean from muzzle with traditional cleaning rod and jags
c. strip firearm down in order to access chamber directly with traditional cleaning rod and jags. Judging from this, it doesn't seem horrendously difficult.
