Thanks for the wax idea. I couldn't shoot it a brush because it was porous. Wax idea works easier. :bow:

The tip popped off with less than 5 pounds of pull. I've since epoxieded and cross pinned both ends.B. Brush out the following day using a nylon brush wrapped with 00
steel wool or a brass brush (must be under bore diameter to prevent
bristles from jamming at the breech of the barrel).

They must all be cheap companies, because I don't know of a single gun company that pins their rods. TC, Traditions, Lyman, Pedersoli. You name it.
Is not completion of finishing of the ram rod part of completing the KIT?
Using a brush is to be questioned.
Black Jack said:A bore brush with nylon bristles is the simple answer. The bristles are firm enough to be effective in the corners of the grooves and flexible enough to reverse when you extract the cleaning rod. Available almost everywhere that sells muzzleloading supplies.
