this is for the 22lr croud and the 22 mag. croud

swift, I melted the end of my line both in ball form and also some what flat. both times the patch pulled through. am I making the hole to big in my patch prior or am I using the wrong patches???

I went back to smashing the end with a hammer then using a hobby knife to cut a slit for the patch. the slit will also rip but I find that I get @ least 6-8 good pulls before I need to start all over.

I use the pre cut outers patches. does it matter??
I do see it working very well for my bigger bore rifles (not weapons) since a guy can make a bigger ball on the end.
I was hoping on making one for my 17m2 and the 22 rifles.
thanks for the help.



skeet, point well taken and in today's society it probably makes allot of since to use terminology that sounds kinder to the other side.
I guess weapon comes from how I was introduced to guns, bows,knives and even fishing poles.
I remember as a little kid horsing around with another kid while walking through the woods with a single shot 12 g.
my older friend yelled out nock that stuff off!!! your mind should be on the weapon not how much bubble gum you boys are trying to stuff in your mouth. he then began to explain gun safety. again, and again
guess we just fall back on our foundation.
so my mind set since then was educate the ignorant first.
the ones that you can't are just hopeless no matter what school of thought you enroll them in.
take care,
