Rookhawk, thank you kindly, that set looks great, I have come to like this barrel link bore snake and is trying to get hold of more of these products .
 
@Gert Odendaal

The G3 Battle Rifle cleaning kits (.308) can be found for around $15. The 5.56/.223 models are harder to find, not sure they ever made the chain ones in .223?

Yes, it is .223 cal, sorry my mistake rookhawk...is there restrictions on this produk rookhawk>>> may this be take out of the USA to SA??

No restrictions, Gert. It's just a cleaning kit. You *may* have problems with carry-on because the bottle of solvent or oil is included. Probably fine if its in checked luggage.

I would never put a barrel link bore snake in a .22 caliber diameter bore. The chances of a link getting clogged up, stuck, and then destroying your rifling seems high. The otis kits are milspec and won't damage your bore. They are tiny too, slightly bigger than a hockey puck and easy to carry in the field.

That is what happened today..the barrel linked bore snake did clogged up due to a too large piece of cloth ....I broke the barrel link chain while the cloth and other half of the chain was wedge in my barrel of the 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser Shilen barrel...

As always Johan Greyling the genius told me to drill and tap a hydraulic coupling with 1x14 tread , he screwed the coupling onto the rifle barrel silencer thread , screw the pressure pipe of the hydraulic pump onto the coupling , start the bore hole drill hydraulic pump and blow the stuck item out..now we have a new method to get rid of stuck items in a rifle barrel, re-loading dies or any thing stuck in a pipe:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:
 
I believe I found your kit @Gert Odendaal its says it’s universal, but fits the hk33, which is 5.56.
I don’t know how to post a link but here is a screenshot with the screw number. The website is hk parts .net

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
