FLEX-HONE SUCCESS(23/03/2018)
A few years back a customer had an AR-15 that refused to allow fired brass to escape the chamber. We found the chamber had debris from the finishing process inside it. The rifle's manufacturer sent us a Flex-Hone to polish the chamber and keep the hone. WOW, that chamber came out clean and problem free. Since that first application we have seen 3 more similar situations with AR-15 chambers with finishing debris that required cleaning. It is NOT necessary to remove the barrel from the receiver to polish the chamber. Chamber dimensions were not affected by the polishing activity. While this first hone was free to us, I will buy all future hones from Brownell's.
Works Great!!(05/02/2016)
The directions say to lap the bore for 3 min....it took only 1 1/2. Worked great. Caution should be used to not to insert into the neck or throat, as stated in the instructions. Use with flex hone oil 080-609-008WB. I used a 3/8" cordless drill, worked great. Easy directions, short sweet and to the point. Only gave it 4 stars because of the price...but I guess if you have a product that works great you can charge a little more. The plus side is that if you watch what you are doing, (i.e. Don't insert it too far, or catch it in the locking lugs), this should last for a long time.
May not be long enough for semi-autos.(14/02/2017)
I use Flex-Hone tools for many applications and have always been pleased by the performance, so the high price was accepted. I have and use the 357, 44, and 45 rifle and 12 and 20 gauge shotgun Flex-Hones, so I confidently ordered the 17/22 mag hone.
Unfortunately, the hone 'tail' only has 4 1/2" useful length and won't work in most bolt or auto loading guns without removing the barrel. Disappointing for something designed/listed for rifles.
Works great for honing AR(18/07/2017)
I used the hone for honing my AR rifles and pistols (6 so far). Worked as advertised. I mount it in a Dewalt 12 volt cordless drill which seems to give me the speed variations I need. Did what I wanted. Used on both .223/5.56 and 300 BLKOUT guns. You need to be a little more careful on the 300 BLKOUT so you don't run it in too deep.
FLEX HONE(26/08/2011)
I have the 5.56/.223 flexhone that I have been using on my compitition rifle and those of my customers. I have been so pleased with how much easer it is to clean, chamber, and eject spent rounds, and has helped accuracy.
