What bore guide do yall use? and Can you use the bore guide with the copper brushes or is it for use only with the patchs and jap? Also is there a bore guide for use with lever actions rifles like my 30-30 Marlin?

I have been thinkin this one is really good but personally I havent ever seen or even used a bore guide for any weapon of mine.

i use a blue aluminum tube bore guide that has changeable tips for different calibers. i have used the regular copper brushes and the nylon ones tha jags and what ever you want and not a problem.

here is what i have been using for about 4 years with no issues

Ive been looking at this one

but my concern was I wouldnt be able to get the brush through the middle. But I guess if there room for a jag then there has to be room for the brush of the same caliber.

on the bore guide yall use are the tips hard plastic?

I bought the cheap PVC pipe one with a rubber ring around the end. Does the job. You don't need high tech for a bore guide.

Exactly! I have an old Stoney Point bore guide and I made another from copper tubing and some plastic that I turned down in my lathe. As long as it keeps the slop out of the action and aligns the cleaning rod, you're good to go.
