Does anyone know where I could find a cheep cleaning rod that takes the large threads that are on the shotgun cleaning brushes. I need one for polishing. I keep breaking those adaptors that adapt the large threads down to the small threads on the universal rods.
Thanks, steve
I use a wooden dowel about 3/8" in diameter. The tricky part is finding a very straight one, then cutting a neat notch that does not break out to hold the scotch brite.
i saw a Hoppes cleaning kit at dicks today it it had a much larger rod then the other ones i have had, may want to try that one if you havent already
(for some reason that first sentence was odd to write lol)
kinda funny..lol...no seriously there is an adapter that screws into the small rods for the shotgun stuff..wally world or dicks should have it
At Walmart just find the kit for shotguns, it has the "big rod" in it. It is a three piece rod.

Try the Birchwood Caseys "Barrel Boss". I love mine. $16 comes with an aluminum rod and a full lenth bore mop. The aluminum rod is threaded for the brushes and other mops. Works great.
Thanks guys, I will check out the ones at dicks and walmart tonight. Hopefully these "big rods" Have the 5/16 27 threads and don't take the 5/16-27 to 8-32 adaptor. The adaptors are what I was breaking.

Tipton makes a shotgun rod it has the large threads and you can use Hoppes brushs or bore mops no adaptor needed.

The cheap 3 piece with the handle cut off work great for polishing with a drill. You can also make a bore guide with a spent hull. Knock out the primer and drill the right size hole for the rod.
