Now this is pretty straightforwards if you look at the picture but i was asked to get a detailed explanation.
These works a lot better then any commercial swab and seem to work great with the rifled FS barrel as well.
What you need:
Rope
Soft tube
4 x round soft rubber disks
2 x round sponge-like disks
10 x hard rubber pieces to work as spacers
A micro-fiber cloth sown into a triangle
How-to do it
Start with tying the cloth piece to one end. After that tie a knot about 5 cm from the cloth. Add a spacing disk, after that put on one of the soft sponges, new spacing disk, second sponge. Once the sponges is in place tie a simple knot before adding the soft rubber disks. Add 2 spacers between every soft rubber disk. Tie a knot to secure the disks and then put on the soft tube. Finally just make a loop at the end of the rope.
A few things to make note of. All the disks (not the spacers) should have a diameter greater then any barrel you use (also note that the front tip on bore size-able barrels is greater then the bore part...). Also when you choose the materials to make one of these, choose them with care.
