Bore Guide Clearance

[Ram]

What rod should I have between the rod and the rod guide on a Lucas bore guide for a 223. Mine has a diametical clearance of 0.01".

Thanks!

When you purchase on of his bore guides he has always ask me what is the diameter of the rod I will be using. He then will supply you with the correct rod insert for your diameter rod.

I would want as little slop as possible. Give him a call, he's the one to answer your question.

It's probably fine. I didn't give the rod diameter, just the vendor and type. Thanks.
