New cleaning rod

[ENCORE50A]

Cleaning bolt actions with cleaning tubes installed in the action requires a longer cleaning rod. I'd been using a light weight rod for cleaning that just wasn't getting it.
So I contacted a friend and asked him to build me a dedicated and sturdy 40" cleaning rod. It showed up today Very happy with it.

I took one of the other shorter rods and attached a jag for swabbing on the range when using BH209. Its now a dedicated range rod for swabbing.
Handles allow rotation of the rods.

Looks nice the handle reminds me of old hoppe's gun cleaning rods

A friend I met at Friendship makes the rods. He'll make them any length one wants for cleaning or loading. Very heavy duty and without question will outlast me.

Can he make a .250 diameter rod for general gun cleaning a d maintenance?

Does one need to go to Friendship to purchase one of these range rods? I would like one for my Optima V2 pistol with the MZ-REX 2 muzzle brake installed.

Actually two rods.

One for cleaning.

And, one to give to Levi Reed to machine a stainless steel collar that will snugly fit in the opening of either of the MZ-REX 2 muzzle brakes.

To be used at the range after the LR Customs t-handle loading tool pushes the bullet, or sabot/bullet through the brake.

Said loading rod to be fitted with a SpinJag Loader tip.

I'm guessing each rod's shaft will need to be about 20"-22" long. I'll know for sure once the pistol has been fitted for the 2 brakes.

If he had the material, yes. All three of mine are 5/16". I can't imagine ever bending one unless you beat something with it, hard.

No. I'm not sure if he wants to build a bunch, but I can ask.

I sent him a message asking if he would be interested in making more for others.

I just posted it but............. YAHOO! I just talked to the range officer at the club and the 600yd range is open !! YAHOO!

I clean through my T-Rex CSTM brake through the funnel Levi supplies.
