I have not see usful surplus stuff in any surplus store in years. Outside clothing and gear bags.Is there some Army/Navy surplus store in Eastern Mass/Southern NH
that carries G.I.-style cleaning rods with folding T-handles -
with no bearings or bushings that let the rod rotate in the handle?
I want something that will let me spin a chamber brush -
not something that will fight me every step of the way
to keep from rotating the brush in the chamber.
The 'Female' ones come with batteries.I've never noticed this...Gender: male??? Are there women specific gun cleaning kits now?

Man, ain't this the TRUTH !! (My MKIII has almost taken trips off a steep cliff from "can't assemble" anger). As of late after like the 20th time I have it figured out ... sort of, LOLGlocks never need to be cleaned and you never clean a Ruger Mk1 2 3 or 4 because you'll never get it back together again once you take it apart
Im not seeing it, I have both.Is the Dewey significantly better than the Tipton?
When you clean from the breech, you don't risk scraping the rod against the muzzle crown. Abrasion of the muzzle crown causes gas leaks which throw the bullet off course as it leaves the barrel. Secondarily, you aren't pushing debris into the action of your rifle as the patch leaves the bore.Do folks generally recommend using these rods from the breech end (i.e. pushing) rather than the muzzle? Why?

If anything the dewey handle is on the small side?
Makes sense. This is why we ask questions. I guess I was thinking that the softer rods should be fine to pull, particularly for actions that are harder to access. I figured you'd take care in feeding it down the bore (maybe use a guide) and screw the brush or jag onto the rod.When you clean from the breech, you don't risk scraping the rod against the muzzle crown.

I have a Dewey chamber rod for that.Is there some Army/Navy surplus store in Eastern Mass/Southern NH

I use them too.I typically use Q Tips for cleaning my guns - revolvers or pistols. Am I alone in this?
Nope; I'm the Q-Tip King of Deerfield.I typically use Q Tips for cleaning my guns - revolvers or pistols. Am I alone in this?
Most of the shooters on my Club's gallery pistol team don't clean them, until they start to get finicky - don't want to mess with the status quo.Uh, people with 22s. The ammo be grubby. LOL Are 22s really pistols?
