Source for 8-32 brushes, .54.
« on: January 18, 2021, 11:44:09 AM »
Can someone suggest a source for brass bore brushes in .54cal with an 8-32 thread.

TOW doesn't carry them.

Thanks.

Try "The "Gunworks" catalog on line or the Log Cabin shop.

MSM/ Cain's makes them.  MSM = Mountain State Manufacturing.  At least they used to.  in days gone by, I probably bought half a ton of them - 8/32, 10-32, shotgun thread, whatever.  I think they went from .32 cal up to 10 gauge.

If necessary, get an adapter.  https://www.trackofthewolf.com/List/Item.aspx/573/1  Scroll down to 8/32 male to 10/32 female, SA-8M-10F or SA-8M-10F-S Or, go to Dixie @ https://www.dixiegunworks.com/index/page/product/product_id/504 Notice that it is available in both 10/32" and 8/32"
