shootawayBore mop size question
I need a bore mope for my 500NE.
Would a .50 cal mop be better than a 12 guage or 20 guage size?

ArminiusWho needs a bore mop for whatever?
I mean, just take a jag and cotton patch and soak it with your favourite rust preventative.

shootawayIt is for applying a coat of oil to the bore.I can soak a mop use it and keep it in its little tube to reuse.I find a mop gives a nice even coat and saves oil too.

shootawayI got a response to my email from Dewey mfg.and they thought a 20 guage mop would work so I ordered a dozen.They have out a cable like a boresnake that I thought would be better so I ordered one of those too.

shootawayJust a follow up to my original post.I tried the 20 guage mops and they work like a dream.
