Then click on Ram Rod Accessories on the LHS.If you figure your time at $50/hour, you have way over a 1/2 hour to make yourram/cleaning rod. Cheaper to just get a good one that will handle a jag on one end and load with the Jag and clean with the Jag. If you using the SW bullets of course you have to use the Jag make for high BC bullets.

I see your point and will check them out. I did redo the old shotgun cleaning rod in a few minutes even counting tapping it for the 10-32 threads. Having two rods at the range works out good though for me. I got a CVA that the ram rod unscrews to make itself about 3 inched longer, a total piece of junk in my mind. I've got the equipment and materials available to make myself one, I like to tinker around in the shop so the money savings really dosen't come into play. Thanks for the link to rmssports
Your welcome. Here is the one I have. The are rock solid.






As for the term "cheap", I used that term to describe myself on these tree stands, which costs about $10 each to make and use:

I like what Jesus did when he fed the 5000, he had a small boy pick up the left over pieces and fishes. Now why did Jesus do that? He just performed a miracle, why did he not just let the piece rot on the hill side? Why did he have them picked up? Because he want to teach us the parable of "waste not want not", which is what were were taught as children, but have forgotten in our disposable society. So bottom line I commend your wanting to be a "cheap" person, because you would be in Jesus's camp on that particular virtue.
In Christ, who was, who is and who is to come,
