[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1080118, member: 10178"] Less expensive and JUST AS EFFECTIVE. You DON'T need brushes with the proper solvents these days. Take a piece of ROUND not the angled cutting edge weedeater line a foot or so longer than your barrel and action length. Sharpen one end and with a flame melt the other end and press it against something like a coffee cup to form a button on that end. You can trim or sand the edges of the button to fit your bore. With the sharp end poke it through a cleaning patch and slide it down to the button end. Dip the patch in your solvent. Stick the sharpened end into the chamber end and push it out the muzzle end. Grab that end and pull the patch through. Do this two times. Now go away and let the solvent work for at least 15 minutes. Repeat the procedure with a clean patch and use solvent again if not clean. You don't need a bore guide and you have not done any damage to your bore and you have a lot more money in your pocket. People do more harm to their bore by cleaning it too much and using brushes etc. than they do shooting bullets through it. [/QUOTE]
