Try Cleaning With A Nylon Bore Brush
« on: June 13, 2018, 11:48:49 PM »
This is the way I do it. The brush works perfectly in .45, .50 and .54 caliber barrels. And you will never stick it.

It looks like it would work pretty well. :hairy

I use the old traditional "tow and worm" for scrubbin' bores.  :hairy

Semisane, I too epoxied a [bottle washing] brush to a wood dowel to clean the threaded breech of my inline:  works like a charm and was beaucoup dollars cheaper than commercial devices. :bl th up

Hmmm.  I have a couple of brushes like that for cleaning the pets' drinking fountains.  Do you suppose my Sweetie would notice if one of them was gone?   :laffing :laffing :laffing
