Hi All.
My rolling block is finally here! So now, I'm curious, I have a cleaning kit that along with several bronze brushes also has some shotgun mops. I notice that the 410 mop fits down the bore of my 45-70 chambered rifle fairly nicely, it's not really tight enough to do any 'cleaning', but it's not really loose in it either, and so I was wondering if I moisten the mop with water, could I use that to wipe the bore between shots?
If not, how would I go about making a blow tube? I know I need to drill out the back of a case, but then what? Do I glue in the plastic tubing, or attach a fitting to the case that I can slip the tubing onto? If I can avoid using a blow tube it would be better, as I have lowered lung capacity due to my various ailments, so I'm concerned that I don't have enough wind to use a blow tube. Thanks!
