v-max Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi all my mate has got a 204 & asked me if he could use a .22 rod with the 204 brush etc on the end & i wasent sure. So dose the rod to clean a 204 need to be the .17 or can a .22 rod be used??. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I use a .17 cleaning rod with .20 brushes and jags these are smaller thread sizes than those for .22 rods. Therefore I would speculate the .22 rod will not work, howeveer I've not tried it. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6mmBR Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 All the .20 brushes and jags I have come across will only fit .17 cleaning rod threads and not the larger threaded .22 rods. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Ok thanks dave so it looks like it will be a .17 rod required then thanks once again. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyH Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Ok thanks dave so it looks like it will be a .17 rod required then thanks once again. Barry Why not just tell your friend to get himself a .20 cal cleaning rod? It's a tiny expense compared with the rifle, and correct cleaning is important: I mean, ships and a ha'porth of tar spring to mind. ProShot rods like mine use #8-40 threads for jags & brushes, in sizes for .17 and .20. We're talking £30 - £40 for a good rod plus jag & brush(-es).

riddos204R Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I too use one of the ProShot 17/20 cal rods and a 20 cal brush and spear tipped jag. The 22 and larger calibres use a different thread and will not work in a 20 cal. I would highly recommend them. I always buy the best cleaning equipment i can afford as its such an important task.
