charlie-fox 1 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Bought a tetra 3 piece cleaning kit for my 17hmr while attempting 2 clean noticed brush was very tight fit so switched and used copper brush it went down with a firm push on pulling back the rods parted on inspection iv stripped the thread by doing this any 1 had similar problem it seems a very poor method Quote Link to post
tegater 789 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Get yourself a one piece rod and make sure you use a bore guide. With any rifle I only ever go one way through with the brush, take it off, pull the rod out, put the brush back on and continue. All differences of opinion on this, but thats the way I do it. If you do continue pulling it back through, make sure the brush has completley left the muzzle, and never try and reverse the stroke of the brush while it is still in the barrel, as that is when you will have problems. What make brush are you using, as even a new brush shouldnt be really tight? Quote Link to post

The Duncan 802 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I've got a pro-shot kit, but no bore guide. Neither shop I went to recommended or stocked one. Quote Link to post
