Flex-Hone

MOJO Double Trouble

Flex-Hone from Brush Research Manufacturing cleans and polishes firearm chambers with small, abrasive globules on flexible nylon filaments. With the Flex-Hone chucked in any power drill, you can quickly and safely clean out corrosion, blend scratches, nicks and pits to leave the chamber polished to a mirror finish. Even a new rifle may arrive with small pits and occlusions in the chamber, and anything less than a highly polished chamber can create ejection problems and scarring of brass cases. Available in a variety of grits and sizes to fit the caliber of most guns. The forcing cone in a shotgun barrel can be polished using a specially designed tapered hone. Suggested retail starts at $18. Contact: Brush Research Mfg., Dept. FFG, 4642 Floral Dr., Los Angeles, CA 90022; (323) 261-2193; www.brushresearch.com
