got a chamber brush from bushy and then fixed an old cleaning rod handle so it would be solid and not rotate freely. i soked around the lugs with clp and let set a little while and eased the bush into the chamber with the big part just past the lugs but when i went to twist it around it twisted into at the stem. what did i do wrong?  is there any better place to get a chamber brush?

sorry at first i thought it had broken but when i took the threaded end out of the rod i see that it just became separted from the brass theaded peice. looks like from the way the twist is if i had twisted counter clock wise it would have tighted into the threaded part instead of coming out. who knew. should have look closer. guess you have to be smarter than the equipment your useing. |

Or you could do like us "Financially Deficient Federal Employees" do. Get an old-school GI pistol cleaning rod. The one with the loop at the end. Screw the chamber brush in. The threads aren't the same but the brass gives before the rod does, and brushes are consumable. Now you have a rod dedicated to chamber cleaning. The loop gives enough room to hold "and" twist. And if its really stiff, you can put another rod section, screw driver, toothbrush handle... through the loop for added leverage. |
The GI rod was designed for this. See my pic above. |
Oh yeah............ain't it GRAND!!!!
