Had a chance to use this on my Jaeger today that is finished except for some carving. In addition to the two pins the rifle has a nose cap that is held in place by a screw into the barrel and a sling swivel that has to be taken off in order to remove the barrel for cleaning so the process is a bit tedious.
I remembered I got one of Dave's thingys and used it for the first time today and got to clean the rifle with the barrel in place.
Ask me how much I like it? My face hurts from smiling so much. :) :) :) :)

Glad you like it. Taylor and I are of the opinion that the only way to get the barrel CLEAN, is to flush it with water. In and out, in and out.
-
Love mine as well. Brilliant idea.

Can ya put the rifle in a cradle upside down like this & don't take the barrel off ?
I have cleaned mine like that for years. Keeps the water from running in under the wood.

I agree whole heartedly with all the above. I use mine on all my guns since I got it a couple of years ago. ;D
-
That would certainly work, Keith.
-
If I take a barrel out, it is for a Serious issue. I don't like taking them out. Every time ya do you
take a chance of screwing up a pin hole or something.
Dave Crisalli makes some really nice items. His work is always Top Notch. ;)
-
Especially his Gunner's Mate tool.

I made one of these as per Dave's parts list and instructions a couple of years back. I cradle the gun like Keith does in his photos, added a couple of nylon buckle straps to hold the gun firmly in place, flush away. Works like a charm.

Thankyou James. Walt

The best cleaning solution I have ever worked with. Bought two of them at the Dixons Faire and have never looked back.
-
Yep. Really works well. I to would rather not take the barrel out of the stock Unless I have to. I was using a magnet on the touch hole BUT I wasn’t able to flush it like with the tube attachment

Wayne Dunlap used to sell those 20-30 years ago.

Still got yours Mike? I know where you can get one if you don't.
-
Yes I still have it. All I need is a gun to use it on.
