If the rifle was supposed to come with a T handle and did not, contact Thompson Center Arms and advise them of that fact. I think you might be able to get one from them. Call them on the phone as they have no email responce lastI knew.

Other wise get a T/C Rugged Rod and use that as your range rod and cleaning rod. Also make sure you get an extra long one. They really make cleaning nice. I use a 32 inch range rod. It fits all my rifles that way.

Also with the kind of loading your having, check the bullets you shoot to make sure of the diameter. .430 are green sabots, .452 are the black sabots, and pick yourself up a pack of the Harvester Crushed Rib sabots. It will really make a difference in the loading.
