Default Breech Plug Thread Cleaner

I've never been comfortable with using the little hand brush to clean the breech area on my White and Knights. It was OK for the Omega but not ideal.

I rigged this up with an old cleaning rod and 12 gauge nylon brush. It works like a charm.

Looks a Little Red Neck to Me, just Kiddin...........I just use a little Dish Soap and Water with the Brush and a few Turns and She's good. That seems a little High Tech

Yep... got one pretty much like that myself - cept the drill is a greenish yellow... Nylon brush is also a very important key.

Member to turn it counterclock wise when it is coming out... the winds the material out with the brush...

I was never a fan of using mechanical means to spin something in my rifle. I personally do the same thing but by hand. Then I don't have any concerns if something is leaning the wrong place and wearing something that should not be. But if it works for you, then that's a great tool.
