I've been using one for 20 years. As stated before, if it fits your gun it will work.
I remove the lock and stuff the lock inlet with a paper towel just incase of a slight leak but have never had a problem.

Bought one. Used it a few times but could never get it tight enough to prevent gunk rolling down my stock so, I gave up on it. It now resides in the bottom of my range box.

One thing I absolutely hate when cleaning a rifle is for dirty water to run down the stock and stain both it and any brass it crosses. Best thing I have found for this is simply a tight fitting toothpick in the touch hole....just my 2 cents, Mick

It works great, Smollett! My rifles stay squeeky clean using the flush method and Ballistol. BTW, the lock comes off and I scrub it with some dish detergent and an old toothbrush, then dry it with a towel or paper towel and set it out in the sun to thoroughly dry while the rifle is being cleaned with flush kit. Then I spray lock down with Ballistol and wipe of excess.

I made my own many years ago, works great.

I bought one to use on a Trade rifle that has a Chambers lock and fixed touch hole. I think it would work better with a removable touch hole liner as it builds up a lot of pressure when you pull the cleaning patch up from the bottom. I have only used it twice and am going to keep working with it before I put it in the doesn't work in my gun drawer.

My Trade rifle is difficult to clean and I went to this to see if it would work better than using 25 patches to clean the barrel. So far it doesn't.
