I inherited an Antonio Zoli 1863 Zouave rifle from the father of a good friend of mine. I've been shooting BP revolvers for a while now, and know how to shoot and clean them, but not BP rifles. How often do I need to take out the breech plug for cleaning? Every time, or just sometimes?
I know that with inline hunting rifles, you're supposed to pull the breech plug and clean every 3-5 shots, but this seems excessive.
