Anyone use it to clean a Mosin-Nagant 91/30? Worried it might be too short, using it from the breech to the muzzle.

yes it works for the mosin, however it can be very difficult to pull through the barrel. i suggest having somthing to pull it with on the other side because you might hurt your hand when trying to pull on the tiny black rope

I can't answer this, I use Slip 2000 EWL-30 for all my semi auto pistol slide rails and on heavy friction areas on ARs with excellent results. It stays put even in the hot summers of the AZ. southwest. As for bore cleaning I pretty much stay with Hoppe's #9 or any other good solvent.

Two thoughts on this. First, having a perfect crown at the muzzle is a must for accuracy. For this reason, the rule of thumb is always clean chamber to muzzle to lessen the chance of damaging the crown. The other thought, with this bit in particular, is it will act like a squeegee, pulling (or pushing) the carbon, solvent, and crud in front of it. Because it fits the bore, and is non absorbent, all of that crud would end up in the chamber, as it's larger than the bore.

The effective length of the rod not including handle measures 25 3/4". If you clean from the breech, you will have to see if it has the length for your particular rifle. I use it for my AR-15 that breaks open and works perfectly. For my Ruger 10/22, I have to use an Otis cleaning cable.

If your gun has a standard rail under the muzzle, there shouldn't be a problem. Hope this helps.

I put this on 2 different mosins. One of them is in a archangel stock so it doesn't sit at the same height anyway. The other sits in a modified wood stock with a higher cheek weld made specifically for a "scope-only" setup. So I don't really know how it'd weld on a stock mosin. It does sit higher than the irons obviously but it is lower than the other mounts I've tried. Including the brass stacker which sits very high. If you get this and sight it in but find the cheek weld awkward there are leather butt stock socks that offer variable heights in cheek weld and even sometimes offer round carriers. Most of these are adjustable via velcro strapping or lace tie downs. They're also usually quite attractive and classy in appearance. I'd say get the mount and if it's height is an issue get a universal rifle riser. They're usually no more than $15-20.

Think I've cleaned about 4-5k 223 rem brass and 2-3k of 308 with odd bits of pistol brass thrown in. Still working good. Added a small dog bed in a cardboard box to cut out the noise.

Ronald, this is a nice kit that will clean any gun from 22 to 45 caliber! It also includes a brass brush for 12 gauge cleaning as well. So far, I am happy with it. You will however want to buy additional cleaner, gun oil, and patches sometime down the road... good luck!

It was designed to push a cleaning patch threw the barrel cleaning the bore of the weapon. A lot depends on the weapon you have and what the manufacture suggests on how to clean the bore .....Another way to clean the bore is to use a cleaning pellet since a cleaning rod used the wrong way can scratch the land and groves in the barrel.I got it to use it to remove any jammed pellets if there ever is one.

If using as a bore cleaner, use it full strength. I cut mine 1/4 with water for general cleaning and lube. Very rarely do I need anything more aggressive, works really well.

You should get another one. The bristles on the .45 cal brush won't do as good a cleaning job on the .380, as they will want to bend over and won't be nearly as effective.

I always coat my barrel with it as a rust preventative and to make fouling easier to remove, it seems to work well for that purpose. In my opinion a a bore cleaner like Hoppes 9 should still be used on occasion.

No, it does not appear to be capable of being shortened due to the recoil pad. I wish I would of thought about that. I need a inch shorten due to cold winter gear I have on during hunting.

Michael, I understand the chamber lube is designed for springer use. However, I don't see any harm in using it on an air piston rifle for barrel cleaning and pellet lubrication (if you choose to do this). To initially clean a barrel, I use a 1/8" wooden dowel rod for my .177" barrel. Over the tip I place small pieces of cotton padding (Like women use for make-up removal. I get ~80 per pack at the local dollar store and cut each patch into a bunch of smaller pieces) to make a snug but not too tight fit. I run those through the barrel (starting where you load the pellet) until they come out pretty clean. Then, I put a drop or so of chamber lube oil down the barrel and continue running cotton patches through it. A bunch of them. I keep checking the barrel until it is absolutely clean. Spotless clean with no junk residue on the white cotton patches. Once the barrel is clean, consider cleaning and lubricating the pellets. I didn't at first and after ~ 75 shots the barrel was pretty dirty. So, I cleaned it again. Spotless. And, I washed the pellets. Put 250 or 500 in a plastic cup with hot washer and dishwashing liquid soap. Swish the soap around some, and pour the pellets into a strainer (another find at the local dollar store), rinse well, and dry. To dry, I leave mine in the strainer, place in direct sunlight for a few hours to dry ... shifting the pellets around several times to ensure all the water is drained from the pellets, and put the pellets into a small plastic container (or back into the original container). On the inside of the top of lid, I put two drops of the chamber lube oil, close the lid and roll the pellets around inside the container. Done. Shoot. Enjoy. No dieseling. Barrel stays clean and very lightly lubricated. Don't know that this improves accuracy (I'm still working on breaking in the gun), but it sure keeps the fingers and barrel clean. Hope this helps. ...

This is a .177 cleaning kit, so even though it will enter a .22 barrel, it will be too loose t be able to properly clean it. Try a .22 one!

I have one installed on a 590 with a pistol grip. It has held secure with a flashlight attached for over 200 hundred rounds, about half of which were buckshot or slugs. If it's loose just cut a piece of sandpaper to fit in one side of the clamp. Put the grit side towards the clamp not the mag tube. That way there will be no marks on the tube when you remove it. I've done this for other applications and it holds securely.

I would think it would be just as good as for a mosin nagant. It works and works well.
