Effective immediately - Since I can not guarantee I can ship during the week as I have a full time job that runs well past Post Office hours most days I will be shipping rod orders out on the Saturday after payment is received. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and for any it may cause. ~Ben
This is the official “Wolf Rod” ongoing group buy thread so we don’t clutter up the S&S forum. The poll up at the top is just to get an idea of the handle options you might look for to be offered in the future Snail mail forms of payment only, No PP. If you have "wolf rods" you've put your own handles on feel free to post a picture to give others ideas on handle options/materials & solutions.
For those familiar with the “wolf rod you can skip this paragraph. The “Wolf rod” is the idea of a good friend of mine who is our pistol director at our club and myself, we put on dozens and dozens of matches a year and have a lot of cleaning to do on our personal guns. We wanted a short stubby solid brass cleaning rod for cleaning cylinders on revolvers as well as the short barrels on various BUG’s. Trying to clean short barrels or cylinders with long steel or even coated rods cause much cringing as coating can get stripped or rods scrape against crowns of beautifully blued guns.
I will be making two standard rods-handles are not currently an option sorry for the inconvenience it may be a future offering if I find a supplier I’m happy with but it is currently not being offered Cost of handles and shipping would also add about $4 to the total cost of the rod If you don’t see that as a problem speak up and I’ll see if there is enough interest to try and supply rods with handles. That being said a file handle drilled out and the rod JB welded in makes for a superb handle. If you want compact look at drawer knobs as well.
First being offered is a ¼” diameter threaded for either 8-32 (civilian threads, most common) or 8-36 (military threads for those with a lot of surplus jags etc) You will need to specify what thread you wish for the ¼” rods. Standard length is 2.5” long. These rods are $6 each shipped.
The 2nd rod at the request of Outpost75 and urging of lots of other members I’ll also be making a ⅜” diameter rod threaded 5/16 x 27 for shotgun threaded mops,brushes jags and what have you. Again this rod will be 2.5” long. These are $7 each shipped.
Each “Wolf Rod” currently is made with 3 grooves cut into the handle end to facilitate grip with your handle of choice when using epoxy or even a tight press fit. If you wish Knurling or just the handle end left plain please state that along with your payment.
CUSTOM RODS- any length other than the standard length of 2.5” can be made, due to my work schedule & material availability it may take up to 2 weeks to get your custom rod shipped. I apologize in advance however I just want to be upfront about the possibility of that long of a delay. I have lots of 1/4" rods ready to ship right now, Currently all the 3/8 rods I have material for are spoken for but I have a wait list for when more material comes in.
