Pablo Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 What cleaning rods do guys recommend?I have two sets of generic Outers aluminum rods that have worked great over the years. So I just bought a Hoppe brush and patch holder for the .35X guns, these new parts have 8-32 threads.....but alas my more slender rod has different threads. Arrgh.So I was checking online and I see something I don't get. Stainless steel rods. This just doesn't seem like a good idea.Recommendation? Whole new kit? Best would just be a new rifle and hand gun rod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I recently bout a one piece carbon fiber cleaning rod to replace a 3 piece brass rod. I didn't know what I'd been missing; it's more flexible but in a good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I have a 12" and a couple 36" Tipton rods, they are carbon fiber. I just ordered some from MidwayUSA. OK price and all, but they are backordered. I'm OK with that, it happens - but wholly Moses, those guys have no shame on shipping charges.....wowser....I ordered a mess of stuff, the main part of the order, the shipping was high, but tolerable. However, the backorder shipping charges are land lubber piracy. Jack me up with no lube, crazy expensive. (where's the gremlin with the bugged out eyes??)

Tom Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Tom - where did you get the carbon fiber cleaning rod? Local gun shop.
