Re: USCCA membership
JD. I can relate so I suspect we can both apply for a Wally World
greeter position
I have that Otis Kit and it's my go to cleaning procedure. Next time
I'm in Academy I'm thinking their new bore snake might come home
with me.
Hmm, that Patchworm looks interesting, when you figure out an
alternate please share AK.
Going to check the range this morning if it hasn't washed away,
I'm having separation anxiety

Re: USCCA membership
Well, I like supporting very small businesses and their product ideas so I ordered up kits and materials from PatchWorm.
Not wanting to redirect for USCCA, I'm going to figure out a new topic title and split the relevant posts into a new topic.

Re: PatchWorm Gun Cleaning Kit
Weed whacker string works pretty well. Tie a knot in one end, hit the knot lightly with a cigarette lighter, trim excess string from the knot and cut the other end of the string at an angle. Punch the angled end thru a cleaning patch and Voila! I carry one in my range bag and it comes in handy. It's not as versatile as the PatchWorm, but it works great in a pinch.
At my age, there IS nothing better than shooting.

Re: PatchWorm Gun Cleaning Kit
Very interesting, I suspect your idea better than mine, which is a weight on the end of a fish line, with a loop on the other end for a patch. I got plenty of trimmer stringrman wrote:Weed whacker string works pretty well.

The Patchworm thing looks cool.
Don't ask me to do anything where where I can't take Bible and Gun, I would leave Dog home, but reluctantly.

Re: PatchWorm Gun Cleaning Kit
I mostly use mine for .17 HMR and .22 LR. Your idea is probably better for bigger bores.

Re: PatchWorm Gun Cleaning Kit
I think I'm going to have to go with these.
Won't eliminate the need for a good rod and a EMR field rod but should be good for a whole bunch of stuff.

Re: PatchWorm Gun Cleaning Kit
I thought I would offer a report on the PatchWorm Kit; in a nutshell it is a great carry kit! I bought both a pistol & rifle kit and it is very handy and would fit just about anywhere. I also bought the bore light and it fits in the kit box as well. I was thinking I ought to get another light but as luck has it, a friend of mine sent me one! So, now I have two complete kits.
I took it out for a test run while doing some load work with a Taurus TCP. My initial work Unique was a bit hot so I experienced some leading. I think I was able to remove it with three passes. The light tube works great as well.
