I recently acquired a desert eagle in 50 AE. Naturally I went to Amazon and laid in a supply of the proper cleaning brushes and jags in .50 cal.
Turned out the bronze brushes I purchased were made for .50 cal black powder. it won't screw onto any of my cleaning handles ( the thread on the .50 cal brush is too big)
I went to Lowes a moment ago and sized the thread on the brush. It is M5 x 0.8 Is that the standard thread spec for a black powder cleaning rod? I would like to order the correct rod but until recently i didn't even know they were not all the same.
