For light soiling, or for oiling or de-oiling, we recommend using comfort barrel cleaners.
In case of heavier contamination or deposits, intensive barrel cleaners make cleaning easier.
The felt cleaning elements have a central hole for easy attachment to the adapter. Comfort and intensive barrel cleaners are available in all caliber sizes from .22 to .45 - either in small or large packs.
We offer you a choice of 1-piece and 3-piece cleaning rods. The 1-piece cleaning rods are undoubtedly more stable and suitable for home use. The 3-piece cleaning rods can be disassembled, are not as bulky to transport and can easily be taken along when travelling.
Cleaning rods are made of stainless steel with a non-slip polyamide handle. This contains two maintenance-free and smooth-running ball bearings so that the felt cleaning elements screwed onto the adapter can follow the grooves in the barrel during the cleaning process (and the adapter cannot screw down due to the twisting movement in the barrel, as is the case with cheaper cleaning rods with rigid handles).
The VFG adapter 66804 has an M5 external thread and 1/8” internal thread. It fits all VFG cleaning rods for rifles, handguns and shotguns (in conjunction with the thread reducer 66900 and the knurled nut) – or other cleaning rod brands with these threads.
The adapter is designed to accommodate 2 felt cleaning elements. The first felt cleaner is screwed onto the wood screw thread and is thus held onto the adapter. This allows you to polish, oil, de-oil, etc. the barrel by moving the cleaning rod back and forth.
At the end of the thread there is a sloping shoulder. If you screw the felt cleaner further up the thread onto this shoulder, it will spread out a little further in diameter so that it sits "tighter" in the barrel. Admittedly, a little more force is required when pushing it through the barrel - but the increased frictional resistance also increases the cleaning effect.
The second felt cleaner is only pushed onto the metric fine thread so that it can be wiped off at the muzzle edge when it becomes dirty when the cleaning rod is pulled back.
