This has always confused me. You have (in essence) a bore brush with larger bristles at the end, for scraping the chamber, correct? Well, if you insert the chamber brush into the chamber, you have about a inch and a half of phosphour (sp?) bristles in the barrel, which will have to be reversed for the brushes extraction ,correct? Doesn't this go against everything we are taught about "never reverse a brushes direction in the bore"?

Request enlightenment.

The bore brush portion is just a little smaller in size than a normal bore brush.  You don't push the chamber brush in, you screw it in.  Insert the brush with a clockwise turning motion and remove it with the same motion.  No harm done to the bore doing it this way.

The largest bristles are for cleaning the barrel extension area.

Understood. It's just one of those things I've wondered about.

Thanks!

Changing direction with a bore brush in the barrel won't harm a barrel.  Think about it, steel or chrome is much, much harder than brass.  Changing direction with a brush in a barrel is a good way to get it stuck in the barrel or destroy the brush, however.

Hmm, on second thought maybe I read more into your post that I should have.  Anyway, maddogdan steared you right as far as how to get the brush in and out of the chamber.
