Quality one piece cleaning rod.

Mine is no longer straight (sat on it:wut::roll:)
What do you recommend and where should I get it from?

I've got a Tipton carbon jobbie, seems to do the trick.

I would go for either a Tipton carbon fibre or ProShot SS one.

And chop it half for a straight-ish short rod ;)

Have you tried turning it over and sitting on it the other way?:thumbsup:

i guess while you had the hacksaw in your hand you could also chop the barrel so the short rod will fit the short barrel :D

Tiptons are good

I have a Hoppes stainless steel rod and it works well, use it for my 223 and 260.
It's too tight to use on my CZ 22lr so have recently bought a Tipton carbon for that.

Surely cleaning rods are much of a muchness?
The Tipton is nice, but not sure its worth paying $70 when the $35 Hoppes one works just fine.

Could make your own Cam ? I was thinking about getting my bro to make a few up how hard can it be to put a handle on one end of a stainless rod & a spike on the other .

My last one was ss. Cringed anytime I felt it touch the side of the bore.

"Gunslick", carbon-fibre rods. Brass fittings and free-rotating handle. Have had a couple for about 6 years and still like them.

Yes, always use a bore guide on all my rifles.

I do on my bolt rifles. Mini 30 isn't set up for one. Got a plastic cone to help protect the muzzle for that one.
