In my continuing struggle to present worthwhile subjects, I will teach you fellows how to clean a shotgun.

First, make sure that it is empty.

e9-1

Then remove the barrel.

e9-2

Put the rest of the shotgun away.

e9-3

Spray WD-40 down the barrel.

e9-4

Do it from both ends.

e9-5

Scrub the barrel with a bore brush, if necessary.

e9-6

Select one (1) Tampax.

Original, Regular is just right for a 12 Gauge.

e9-7

Remove the Tampax from the convenient holder.

e9-8

"Fluff" it up some and spread it out.

e9-9

Use your cleaning rod to push it through the bore.

e9-10

It will exit the barrel dirty.

e9-11

Turn it around and, after re-spraying the bore with WD-40, run it through again.

e9-12

Hold the barrel up to a light to see the fine job you did.

e9-13

There you have it boys. You've learned something important today.

Conclusion:
Tampax aren't just for ladies.
