Great with the Heavy duty bore brush

I decided to get one of these rods, because I had to clean some department shotguns (Remington 870 Police Magnums) that had been neglected. In addition to the heavy carbon and plastic build up, there was rust and corrosion in the chambers. I used the Heavy duty 12 ga. copper/bronze brushes, and a corded drill (cordless is easier). I had to do some extra work on the chambers, but everything is bright as a mirror in the barrels again. For most cleaning, just use whatever solvent or all purpose cleaner / lube / oil, and start with the chamber, if you can remove the barrel. The spinning brush makes it much easier. Work smarter, not harder.

Drill Checkable Shotgun Cleaning Rod

Product is what I was looking for. Only disappointment is that I ordered 12 gauge rod guide #080-000-973WB to use with this product. Bore guide does not accept the rod, hole is too small. Would be nice if bore guides would accept the rod.
