Aluminum cleaning rod caddy. Keeps the rods clean and safe.
I've had it for well over 40 years, perhaps 50. It is a universal design with the rods (in my case Dewey) snapping into the tube tops. If memory serves this was from Sinclair International. When friends wanted to get one after seeing mine they had been discontinued. And that was a l-o-n-g time ago.



Only similar stuff on the market these days that I know about are cases like these. But I'm very partial to the aluminum caddy I have.

Cut to size synthetic cleaning patches. Much more difficult to find these days. Close second is the ease of finding jags and brushes, seems few want to distribute these low-priced items.

Primers that cost half of what they do now.

Inexpensive FALs.

Bladetech UCH holsters were great for smaller firearms.

Browning gun oil.

I also miss the cheap milsurps.

I'm with Baldy on the Sinclair International rod cases. I have a few, always used to take the rod with me to the rifle range. Have others in the Sinclair cases hung on the Sinclair wall rack, all of which I've had for at least 30 years.

Went to Sinclair's site and found Brownells now owns them and Brownells is not a favorite of mine-their site has a feature that keeps dropping their name, etc. down over their products and I have to keep messing with my cursor to see what they offer. I quit using Brownells for anything couple-three years ago.

I think I have enough cases for all my Dewey rods, so I suppose I can survive without new cases for my cleaning rods, but it's a shame, IMO that they are gone.

Yes, Model 556M is just what I'm looking for, though a tad costly. I'll order a few, thanks.

Had a shop trying to order ammo during a recent shortage.

They ordered 9mm, but when it showed up, it was 9x21 instead of 9x18. Nobody knew what to do with it, so it was marked down to $11 a box.

I bought so many, I started shopping for some extra pistols to shoot it all with, and nobody ran off with my brass.

WWB 1000 rnd case for $110 O.T.D. @ WallyWorld circa 2002. Great for UZI sub-gun blasting.

Not rubber, but making sure you're aware of the Magpul dust covers. I don't know if they seal as well as the rubber, but they snap on and also relieve pressure on the feed lips. Of course they are only for Magpul magazines. Cheaper than the rubber also.

I-Shot range bags and magazine pouches. When people see mine at the range they want to know where to get one. As far as I know they're discontinued. At least that's what I was led to believe years ago when I bought more than I needed because they are great products.

...also in 2002: $7600 Colt M16A1s, $4280 New Vector UZI sub machineguns, and Ruger AC556 13" folders for $4650.

Thanks, but no Magpuls for me, my mags are USGI or Brownells. What SigFreund sent will be fine.

Yeah, we stocked up a bit when they stopped selling to the civilian market. According to the lady I spoke with, they were abandoning the civilian market for government contracts because cheap Chinese knockoffs were making it difficult.

The Advantage Arms 22 caliber conversion for Glock 17s. It was the best 22LR fun gun ever. It makes me wish it was a little warmer so I could get it out to the range this week.
