Question
Paul, I've been searching for a replacement, underbarrel cleaning rod for my
Dad's H & R Shikari model 155 44 Rem Mag.which he purchased from the OLD company in "73. I've called H&R, eGun-parts with no results. Got any ideas for sources?

Answer
Hard to find parts such as that. I will check this weekend with the master gunsmith I apprentice with, he has millions of parts. Other than that, you could always make one. Best wood to use is hickory, and best source is old broken hockey sticks! Thanks.
