Ok...I give up. Ya cant use a chamber brush on a "twisty" handle cleaning rod. So I went and got a "GI" cleaning kit. First time attempting chamber cleaning the stupid wire brush twists outta threaded peice you screw into the rod. And the gi kit uses different threads than the standard (8/32 I think?) So how the heck do I use a chamber brush???? Why doesnt anyone make a dedicated handle for chamber brushes? Am I missing something here???? |

You can only twist the brush one way, for two reasons. One being the way the brush is made and the second is the brush will unscrew if you turn it in the opposite direct. If you have the chamber brush with the military threading, you can buy a handle to match the brush |
| I dont think I got a true GI kit. Where the brush inserts into the threaded coupler is totally different from that pic. Mine was just a tube with a small indent punched to hold the brush from twisting/pulling out...it didnt work well. Brush twisted right out before I even got the thing spun into the chamber all the way. Problem was the twist of the wires in the brush vs the direction of spin. one way would unscrew the handle the other way unscrews the brush. |
I never noticed that! I've just relied on screaming profanities while rotating the bare rod with my hands all these years. This will be much more efficient. |

Your not going to wear the chamber down, cleaning it by hand with a chamber brush. As far as procedure goes.............. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=392837
