The Aluminum Chop Stick, aka "Stop Stick"

 A "litte" information can be misleading.  "Alumimnum Oxite" is very abasive, as in sand paper.  

My *STOP STICKS* are made from soft aluminum.  

Do a search on "Oil-impregnated sintered bronze". Now, THAT would be nice !

RJ,

They look like a great addition to the R9 family unit..

Thanks again,

Hi RJ:

I didn't intend to flame either you or your sticks. To prove it, I will buy a set from you and I will use them.

But you are right, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I've been using aluminum cleaning rods for years without a problem. But I've read that aluminum oxide (I don't know what aluminum oxite is) is harder than steel and should be avoided in cleaning rods. It bugged me enough that I bought the Otis cleaning system two years ago, and stopped using my rods.

So relax and be happy--I'll be sending you money.

[RJ HEDLEY]

Oh George, I knew you weren't flaming me, I just love pokeing at you.  
The worst thing I know about cleaning rods is, they get dirt and grit embedded in them.  It is not a factor with the *Stop Stick*, as there is no scrubbing action used in blocking the slide back.

In the use of the *Stop Sticks*,  if you will scribe a depth line on the side of the *SS*, It can be inserted to the magic spot very easily.

Here's you some *Smilely faces*  

I'm happy just knowing I'll be gettin' some of George's money,   at last.

RJ,

I received a package from you today. Thank you.

Included is your famous “Chop / Stop Stick”.  Excellent as expected.

Contemplating having my pay check directly forwarded to you on account.  That’s it, direct deposit.

Nope, can’t. My bride has that with Nordstrom’s.

Again thanks for a great aid.

ALuminum oxide forms on the surface of any aluminum fairly quickly -- it's a very thin layer, usually, just as deep as oxygen goes inside the surface of the metal -- anodizing is, more or less, building a thcker layer of aluminum oxide on the surface -- i don't think this is really a valid concern, as i think you have a greater likelihood of getting a scratch from something hard embedding in the soft metal, than the molecule or so thick layer of oxide on the surface.

Billmark,  *Direct deposit*,    funny !

Aglifter,  good post, I found similar details.

[RJ HEDLEY]

I have ordered the stock for the making of the BRASS " Take down Tool". It will be about 7/ 18 before the new tool is ready to mail out..Price not yet established..

I will make special considerations for those that have the Aluminum model.

OK RJ,
Did you get my order from the previous Post? One Brass Chop stick, one Front pocket Holster, one Mag holder. Like Brown but if it's a pain for you , black will be fine. Send me a PM and I'll send you a deposit when you get back from "Shoneys" with family and Duane.

be careful and stay safe,

Mike

>>I'm interested in a brass nose-picker.  So what's this business about "considerations" for those who have purchased aluminium ones...?...TW<<

[RJ HEDLEY]

  I will have a BRASS ''Stop Stick.''    It will be ready for delivery late next week.  

 The Brass "Stop Stick" will be $18 delivered in the lower 48 States..  

 The Aluminum "Stop Stick' is still availabe at a lower price, $12 in lower 48 states.


----------------------------------------------------------


In consideration of those that have purchased the Aluminum ''Stop Stick.'',  the Brass Stick will be $12.
 
Fair enough?

>>RJ...

I think $12 is more than fair for the brass tool.  I'm in, and thanks...!...TW<<

[RJ HEDLEY]

"..,.more than fair"  TW

That should make up for the fact than I force everyone to buy a Holster in order to get a Pocket Mag pouch, right?

That is VERY fair..Put me down for 2 Brass as I got 2 Alum ones..

Like I said before-A small "pouch" would be great for these and a punch..

I would buy another holster to get the "tool pouch"  

Thanks again RJ..
