Hi Guys

First ever post and feeling a bit thick.
But ~ what goes on the end of the cleaning rods when they are being used and where is it (whatever it is) kept.

That would be a bore brush. Not sure what a Tiger's would look like. They look like a giant Q-tip (cotton bud in England).

I'm going to assume that the bore brush was stored inside the Tiger I because I've never seen one outside. Risky statement, I know.

The picture I remember seeing of the bore brush looked about as big in circumferance as the barrel. It looked like maybe 18"-24" long. And it does kinda look like a long Q-Tip.
