Thread: Cleaning Rods

I'll make a tongue in cheek comment that might get the popcorn flowing.
Those that are worried about a cleaning rod touching the bore are either cleaning way too much, or would be horrified to know that you contain an explosion and send a projectile through a bore on firing.

Yeah, ha - it's not the bore than concerns me with bore to rod contact, it's the wear and possible damage to the coating on the rod. Uncoated rods are better for this I reckon, but seem to be priced well past what the same type of thing from the Kleen Bore stable is worth. I'll put up with the coating, that way it's not such a loss if I accidentally knock the thing onto the concrete and turn it into a pretzel!
