gauze, the second for the flannelette and the third for the purpose of removing the
pullthrough should it break or get jammed in the bore. If a jam occurs the man must not
attempt to remove the obstruction but the musket must be taken on the Armourer.
Flannelette - No other form of material will be used for cleaning the bore. For cleaning
the bore (or for drying it) after firing a piece of flannelette large enough to fit the bore
tightly, 4" x 4" will be used. It will be placed in the second loop of the pullthrough and
wrapped round the cord.
For oiling the bore a slightly smaller piece of flannelette will be used. If the piece used
is too big, the oil will be scrapped off as it enters the bore. The oil should be well rubbed
with the fingers in the flannette.
Wire Gauze - In pieces 4" x "11 ⁄2", only required after firing buckshot, and, when necessary
to remove fouling or rust, after ball firing when not removable with the flannelette
then only with the permission of an officer.
