I received my Bore Stix cleaning rod today and I must say, I am very, very pleased. It's far superior to the Dewey rod it replaces and I just wanted to thank you for producing such a great product. I'll be ordering more of your stuff soon.I am a very satisfied customer.
I just bought one of your 40"" .20 caliber Bore Stix and I am about to purchase your new jags and brushes. It's about time that a manufacturer addressed this obvious false blue reading issue, thank you.
