[PatchWorm]

Hey guys, some of you have been asking about the plastic hard case option for our Pocket Field Kit, which has been out of stock for weeks. Well, we just got resupplied.

All the best! --George

Maby you can add a straw in the box for each caliber. Only because it won't pass the air stripper.

Just ordered one! Needed a new blue and green rod anyways. Been using them a long time and getting rough looking. I like the plastic case. Should be easy to keep in my RTI hard case with the gun whenever I need to clean it.

I have GOT to get myself one of these hard case kits! 

This is my go-to cleaning system, along with many of my friends and teammates. I recently tried the cleaning buttons and they're quickly becoming part of my routine now.

We are looking into that - just need to find the right assortment of straw sizes, and then we can offer them. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi George,

Can I use a heat gun to get the curl out of the end of the patchworm? Or do you have any other recommendations? 



I know about the straw trick but it doesn't really work on my .357. The straw trick does work pretty good for my .25.

Hey there, if by "end" you mean the pointed tip end, then the best way might be to submerge it in boiling water for a few seconds. But do not submerge the rod end with the .20 cal end stop. I assume that you want pointed end straighter for easier passage through a moderator. Success with the straw also depends a lot on a close fit between the straw and the moderator exit hole.

Yeah, the pointed end on the FX crown or benjamin bulldog, between the barrel and shroud exit. Boiling water sounds like a good idea.

yes the cleaning buttons are king

@Tominco and @douger What are “cleaning buttons?”

 

[douger]

felt pads more or less that go onto the patchworm after you put the patch on it high presure pnumatics sells them very nice to clean with. not sure who else sells them but i can say they really clean the liners very well a must have. use 3-4 with the patch and your done

The felt cleaning buttons are awesome! Place a small amount of Balistol on the button and drag that through the barrel first. Really gets the lead out. I keep a couple of thick straws in my shooting bag. Placing the straw in the moderator makes it possible to pull through the barrel.

Funny you mentioned this. I drove around the corner to Burger King and got a handful of them for the same reason when I got my first PW delivered.

 

[Ezana4CE]

@douger and @maxtrouble Thank you for explaining. Now I’m wondering if I can core out some cleaning pellets for the same purpose.

 

[Arky hunter]

Recently bought one of these kits and really like it for all my guns.

 

[douger]

these things work the best hands down

Dewey has a fine assortment of buttons

It's the only way to clean something like a Uragan without removing the barrel.
