So today I snapped my push style cleaning rod and started looking into a new cleaning kit. Things have changed in the past ~20 years, wow!!!
Are the cable/pull through cleaning kits any good or just a gimmick?? At first glance it seems like a really good idea but how do you clean the breach area on a rifle, is there a short rod? I also like the compactness of the kits but didnt see anything for use in .22 rimfire, only .223 and up? I will need something to handle .22, .223, .45/70, .308, 12ga. (rifles) and .22-.45/454 handguns
BTW, I will be using it on handguns, rifles and shotguns. I've seen the "bore snake" gizmo and was not impressed with it, thats not the pull through I'm talking about.
Any help in this area????
Now that I've typed this out (multiple times on different forums) I can see a pretty big downside to the pull cables, unscrewing the brush and screwing it back on for each stroke. With the rods you screw in on and then run it back and forth until done...
I would still like some feedback on the cable systems if anyone has experience with them.
Also a good brand for the rod system, something that wont bend and break as much as the cheap ones I've used in the past
