Get an empty 32-20 cartridge, coat it with heavy grease. Insert the cartridge in the chamber and close the action. This will form a good seal. Set the rifle upright in a 2 gallon pail and fill the barrel with Kroil. Let it sit 24 hours and then clean as normal. You will be surprised how much crud will come out
