[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3740093, member: 15054"] I used aluminum when I made my cleaning rod. I have had brass inserts but I shy away from brass if I can because I use copper fouling remover and if you have brass in the picture you may think there is copper in the barrel because your patch comes out blue. Now you may not know this but the regular arrows you buy at the store for bow and arrow have a nice insert in them that is the same thread as my bore brushes. My first homemade cleaning rod was a very skinny Beman arrow. Worked excellent. I wrapped the shaft with electrical tape. Absolutely no way to scratch the bore. Not that it would scratch the bore.
