Wingman Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hopefully not a dumb question.... I have a set of Parker Hale cleaning rods made from aluminium (green handle one for shotgun use). Are these ok to use on an old side by side, that doesnt have chrome lined barrels? I am guessing that Ali is softer than barrel steel but just wanted to check!

wisdom Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Should be fine it's the brush etc that is in contact with the bores.I use one for my sxs.410 and there fine. 12 bore set is wood but that's only because I have them.

Smokersmith Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Overkill as you have an answer, but I use an ally rod in my 39" Damascus barrelled 8 with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
