Description
You know that moment after a long day at the range with your muzzleloader? The satisfaction of a good shoot is quickly followed by the looming chore of cleaning. Black powder residue isn’t just dirty—it’s corrosive. Let it sit, and you’re asking for trouble. I’ve been there, putting off the clean because the process felt like a puzzle with missing pieces. That’s where a dedicated kit like this comes in. It’s not just a convenience; it’s a necessity for preserving your investment.
The Traditions EZClean2 Muzzleloader Cleaning Kit Brushes/Cleaner/Patches 7p is a complete, no-fuss maintenance system designed specifically for black powder firearms. It contains the essential brushes, jag, patches, and a powerful, non-flammable solvent to effectively remove corrosive fouling and protect your barrel, ensuring your muzzleloader stays reliable and accurate for years to come.
Look, the genius of this kit is in its simplicity and specificity. Traditions didn’t try to make a universal cleaner for all firearms. They built this for the unique, aggressive fouling left by black powder and its substitutes. The EZClean2 solvent is the star of the show. It’s a non-flammable, water-based formula that breaks down that stubborn crusty residue without the harsh fumes of some older cleaners. I’ve used it on my Thompson/Center Hawken after a 50-round session, and it cut through the grime without a fight, leaving a light protective film. The kit includes a .50 caliber jag and brush, which is the most common size, making it drop-in ready for a huge number of popular rifles from brands like CVA, Thompson/Center, and of course, Traditions’ own line.
Beyond the liquid, you get the physical tools to do the job right. The brass jag screws onto your cleaning rod and holds patches securely for swabbing. The nylon-bristle brush is tough enough to scrub but gentle on your barrel’s rifling. And they include a pack of cotton flannel patches—the right material for absorbing solvent and carrying away debris. It’s a focused set. You won’t find a dozen attachments you’ll never use, just the core components that actually touch your gun. For a price of $21.61, it eliminates the guesswork and the hassle of sourcing each piece individually.
Here’s the thing—consistent cleaning is the single biggest factor in a muzzleloader’s longevity. This kit makes that ritual straightforward. The solvent works quickly, so you’re not standing there scrubbing for an hour. The components are durable, so it’s not a one-and-done purchase. I’ve found that keeping this kit in my range bag means I’m far more likely to give the barrel a few passes before heading home, which is a habit that pays off. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, making it an easy add-on to any order.

Pros: The solvent is highly effective and user-friendly with no strong fumes. The kit is perfectly curated with no filler—every piece has a purpose. The .50 caliber focus covers the vast majority of modern in-line and traditional muzzleloaders. It’s an exceptional value that prevents barrel corrosion.
Cons: If you shoot a .54 caliber or smaller .32 caliber rifle, you’ll need to purchase a separate jag and brush. The patch count is sufficient for several cleanings but you’ll want to buy a bulk bag of patches separately for long-term use. The bottle is 4 ounces, which is plenty for many sessions, but high-volume shooters will need to reorder solvent eventually.
This kit is for the muzzleloader shooter who understands that maintenance is non-negotiable. It’s ideal for hunters who want to ensure their one shot during season is perfectly reliable, and for range enthusiasts who shoot frequently and need an efficient cleanup routine. If you own a CVA Wolf, a Traditions Vortek, or a similar .50 cal rifle, this is your dedicated cleaning partner. It’s also a fantastic gift for the new black powder shooter—it sets them up with the right tools from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this kit work on my percussion cap rifle or just in-line models?
A: Absolutely. The cleaning process and the corrosive nature of the fouling are identical. This kit is designed for any firearm that uses black powder or pyrodex, regardless of the ignition system.
Q: Is the solvent safe for all barrel types?
A: Yes, the EZClean2 formula is safe for all modern muzzleloader barrel steels, including stainless steel. It’s also non-flammable and water-based, making it safer to store and use than some petroleum-based alternatives.
Q: How many cleanings can I get from one kit?
A: The 4 oz. bottle of solvent and the included patches will handle several thorough cleanings. For regular shooters, consider it a starter set that will last a while, but you will eventually need to replenish the solvent and patches, which are sold separately.
