I place the barrel in one of those plastic case like things with the rubber clamp fences. Then I scrub the dickens out of the bore with a standard wire bore brush after running a soaked patch down there. Seems to work okay so far. I've been doing it this way for about fifty years!

it looks just like stainless steel pad. I buy it at Gordons. Have to see what it does on blueing.

I think you're right! The ones I've got are vintage NOS, I dug them out of an old kitchen cabinet at an estate sale. They're the Chore Girl variety for sure.

I've got them, a copper scraper for really tough gun rust, and bronze wool too. But I'm still intrigued by these Frontier brand pads. I emailed about a lot price but haven't heard anything yet.

Destry: I just ordered and received a gross of them and they cost me 230.00 dollars plus shipping so you see it really cuts the cost. I will get rid of most of them this week end at a gun show that I put on.Thomas
