Allen,
With hopes your great thread won't get even more fouled/fowled up (since this is a mostly bird hunting group) please let me suggest the one piece Tico cleaning rods. I believe the two piece rods hook together with small loop type hooks. I don't think they screw together like a 3 piece cleaning rod. I think you will find it very inconvenient using it that way. I like the one piece a lot and think it is well worth the price. I have owned my 12 gauge model since the late 70's as I recall and love it. Now I want one for a 10 gauge. Maybe the Tico company would make up a couple in 8 gauge for Charlie Cleveland. That size would also be useful in cleaning up the Holland Tunnel.
Good luck with the thread.
Dennis
