Was wondering if anyone had a source for 7mm cold rolled rod. Tried
the usual, MSC, Enco, J and L, Small parts. but couldnt come up with
anything. Thanks, Kent

McMaster. Some may be stainless... Hope this helps!

8116K36 but it's not really CRS, it's drill rod... 6' = $21.88

88695K21 (.277") 3' = $4.45

88625K66 3' = $3.15

88755K51 (.277") 3' = $3.43

1274T17 1 meter = $17.96 - Stainless

1272T16 1 meter = $15.08 - Stainless

Thanks for the part #'s. Had forgotten about Mc Master. I think
stainless may be too hard as I need a 7mm rod in order to drive a
slug down my barrel to make a throat slug without hurting the bore..
Cold roll will not hurt the bore but don't know about the others.
Thanks again, Kent

Stainless works just fine. Just break the edge of both ends of the
rod.

Btw...its far better if you make a short starter rod about 3" long to
start the very well lubricated (white lithium works fine) slug
(buckshot is best) into the bore, followed by a longer 12" one,
followed by the full length rod. A brass hammer gets things started.

Ive made all my own slugging and cleaning rods from 303. Shrug..works
fine. Drills and taps well too for jags and brushes.

Roller skate bearings make nifty handle bearings with a bushing. I
like the rod handles to be a bit fat. The hardwood rods that you
hang your hangers on in the closet..(not the pine ones), make a bunch
of cleaning rod handles that fill the hand well. Turn em on the
lathe, round the ends with a mill ******* file...customize em.
Second best handle material is a good straight hoe or fat push broom
handle from the swap meet.

There are 2 sources for Metric metals in the US.
Everybody else gets them from these 2.

You could always use a slightly smaller rod, and put a couple of wraps of
tape on it.
1/4" CRS would do the trick. I hope you are not trying to slug a 7mm bore
with the 7mm rod? The bore dia. on a barrel is the groove diameter, the
land diameter
is smaller. Curious---if you want to get a dimension of the throat-the area
immediately
in front of the case mouth-- wouldn't a cerrosafe cast be better than
slugging it?
