[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1970166, member: 26077"] I have removed quite a few stuck in barrels. I have had them stuck in a couple of 17 cal barrels and could not get it out at all using conventional techniques. Had to recut the barrel to 22 on one and managed to burn it out on the other.. Aside from the stuck issue I just don't see the point of them. A scew together brass rod is far more useful for removing mud, snow, moisture etc and used carefully does no damage. I have carried a segmented rod for decades and I think I have used it no more than a few times to remove an obstruction in someones barrel or to dry a rain soaked barrel. I have always used tape or a rubber over the end of my barrel, debris and water aren't an issue on my barrels. I have never done enough shooting while out hunting to need to clean a barel, if we go high volume gopher or Pdog shooting we take proper cleaning rods and gear. Like I said, to me they do nothing well when it comes to cleaning debris out of a barrel and they sure aren't a quality cleaning tool. [/QUOTE]
