Dewey all the way, if you use steel make sure it has a coating on it or you use a guide.

Exactly which Dewey rod do you guys go with for an ar15? I'm seeing different lengths on Brownells site.

That all depends on the barrel lengths you have to clean it with. You just buy the length you need, no real mystery there.

If money is not an issue you can purchase a couple to work with different length barrels. Bolt gun vs AR. |

In my experience a 36" rod(working length) works best for your typical 16" AR-15 with a bore guide. I use a 30" on my 14.5's and it's barely long enough.

Patrick 30" rod is long enough with any standard bore guide. I could use 26" rod with JP bore guide on 16" AR with 1/2" of working length exposed past flash hider. |

Do y'all prefer stainless steel Dewey rods over the nylon coated Dewey rods?

I like Pro Shot. I have their pistol cleaning rod, and an older stainless rod I use to clean all the rifles. I've thought about getting more. I've had it for years and it's held up great. I have their bore guide for the AR, and it is very nice.
I have some Dewey stuff, but not any of their rods (well, the AR chamber rod). They also make good stuff. |
