If you have an old, bad boar brush, dip it into a little bit of gun oil and use it to put a protective coat of oil on your gun. The brush tips easily get into checkering, engraving, ventilated ribs, actions and other hard-to-get-at spots without over oiling. This may also work with badger, but I have never tried it.
Let's hear more uses the inventive members of this forum have found for their otherwise useless brushes.
I use an old badger to soap my DMTs when they are being used. I think Glen does the same.
There is no such thing as a bad brush. The old ones go to the old brush home in Chattanooga, Tennessee to spend their declining days.
Non performing brushes go through the 12 step program for delinquent brushes on the East End of London.
Wow. I'm thinking your kids had an easier life than my kids did.Quote:

The soap is a lubricant. It also helps keep the plate clean.Quote:
