Opinions on Thompson Center 54 Cal. Renegade

it says THE WORKING LENGTH of the rod is over 29inches plus the jag will add an inch or so. and you can get jags that are 3 to 5 inches in length if ya look around.

Oops. Did not see that. I’ve seen the longer jags and wondered why so long, but now it makes sense. My barrel is only 26 ½" long and that is the shortest rod there at 29" so is more than long enough.

ONLY REASON i SAY 36 INCH IS TO AFFORD SPACE FOR YOU TO GRIP WITH 2 HANDS.

I've read of people using molasses with good results.
Anybody here tried it?

Might be time for me to start a new thread, but for now, I’ll keep this one active. I just got around to swabbing the bore with some steel wool (0000) wrapped around a .45 Cal jag and some Remoil. It worked a little on the rust in the bore, but not what I was hoping for. There is pitting in the bore, so there is probably no way I will ever get all of the rust out. It is patchy here and there throughout the entire bore. Below is a photo I just took after the steel wool and running some dry patches thru the bore.

If I run an oily patch thru the bore, should I run some dry patches thru it before shooting?
