IGOTGLOCKED Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 While working through another thread regarding bore cleaning etc it was brought to my attention how even aluminum rods can scratch a bore. My question is are brass rods safe to use or are carbon fiber the only safe way to go now? Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken6PPC Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 The only safe way is to not scrape the bore with the cleaning rod! Lacking that uncanny ability, use a plastic coated rod that you wipe clean after each pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken6PPC Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I have NEVER used one. I look at it like this - why would I want to drag a contaminated rope through my barrel? If I need to clean the barrel, I clean it. Otherwise, I just leave it alone. Just my opinion, I'm sure you will get others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
