Hi all,
Just wanted to share my experience with Mike Lucas who made a bore guide for my Howa 1500 .308 rifle. I had a heck of a time trying to find a bore guide that would fit in the chamber of my Howa, after trying a couple of brands of bore guides to no avail (Possum was one, can't remember the other), I decided to give Mike a shout via email after someone here suggested I look him up. Email communication was great and immediate, and after giving him the details on the rifle make and caliber, the specs on the cleaning rod (mine was a Dewey coated rod for .22 cal) and my payment, the rod arrive at my door step in about two weeks, which was about two weeks early because he makes these rods in batches; to say the least, I was pleasantly surprised.
The bore guide is a nice piece of equipment. The guide itself is polymer with o-rings in fitment areas to stop back flow of solvents. The guide has a solvent port machined in which was nice, and in case you're wondering why he would need specs on your cleaning rod, it is because the guide comes with an insert fitted to the caliber of your rod,to center it in the guide to prevent the rod from scratching your bore. The fit was very nice on the insert, and finally I got a bore guide that can fit into the chamber of my Howa.
Anyway, here are some pictures:
I'm in no way affiliated with Mike's business, just want to share positive experience on a good piece of equipment. The site where I got his contact info was here: http://www.6mmbr.com/catalog/item/1433308/954882.htm
