Well I have been gathering up a collection of Bear razorheads, and just picked up a half dozen of the Rothaar snuffers. All of my razorheads have been used or are NOS. The snuffers are NIP but the inside of the ferruls on all of the BH's in question have either glue on them or they are rusted slightly. I don't think the glue is a big deal but the rust is something different, I have been looking all over for a tapered wire brush to clean the inside of the BH out. I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Any suggestions as to accomplish my goal? Thanks in advance.

Get a bore brush for cleaning a rifle and chuck it up in your drill. You could use a little acetone and then swab it out with some alcohol and  a Q tip at the end.
Seems self explanatory but from my own experience... Don't hold the broadhead with a bare hand. I was cleaning glue out of a razor sharp grizzly and the bore brush snagged somehow, the grizzly twisted and I paid the price.

I just saw a new glue on point brush in the 3 rivers catalog that would do the trick. You might want to check it out.. It is tapered ..

I use a broadhead adapter on a arrow with fine sandpaper wraped around it.

SS bore brush 30. in a drill.......

X2, or just some rolled up sandpaper.

Insofar as the rust is concerned, submerge the broadhead in white vinegar over night.....gone.

Ask around, someone you know will have a sand blaster.  That is what I did when I got ahold of a bunch of Bear "Greenies".  They are now "Brownies" "Blackies" "Redies"...
