[b]Congratulations on your new (and FIRST) AR !![/b]
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking re the cleaning rod so I'll leave that for others. Does your rifle have a stainless or chrome lined barrel ?? |

Congrats on the new rifle! [beer]
You may be able to find some info on your one piece cleaning rod in the Maintenance & Cleaning Forum that is hear on the AR board. I just use a standard GI cleaning kit for my rifles. |

Sorry, its a chrome lined HBAR barrel. I am just worried if the protective coating over the sectional cleaning rod I have will be protective enough and not damage the bore if I use it for a little while until I can pick up a one piece coated rod like a dewey. Thanks, and thanks for the congrats!

You won't have any problem using the rod you have until you can find the one you are looking for.

Congratulations! Go to Brownells's or call them, they will send you a catalog. They have all kinds of great cleaning accessories for the AR. Sinclair International is another decent source.
Of course, we all know that you are over on the EE, looking for stuff to bolt on that blaster! Mark |

Thanks everyone. I am pretty excited about it, but have not had a chance to shoot it yet. I have other weapons (AK, Sigs, Glock, etc) and am very accustomed to cleaning and maintaining guns (read that as religious about it!), but the thought of messing up the bore of this AR is killing me! I already had a Kleenbore .22 borebrush get stuck in the barrel, and am scared I may have somehow scarred one of the lands getting it out, but I cant tell for sure. I almost crapped myself when that happened! I hope I havent ruined my accuracy. I may take it to the range today, so we will see soon!

Get a Hoppe's BoreSnake instead. One pass does it all! Just drop the weighted end down the chamber and pull it through the muzzle end. Costs about $15.00 most anywhere.

AR15nut, I am not sure which black gun is next. I hope nothing for quite a while. The AR has pretty much broken my toy funds for a while. John316, Yeah, I probably am going to have to pick up one of those boresnakes. Also, now that I have shot about 100 rds through it (it functioned perfectly by the way), I was adjusting the windage on the A3 sight and was getting a 50 yd group of about 2 1/12 moa. I am admittedly not the greatest shot in the world, but is this a respectable enough group to be able to say the land I was worried about was not damaged? Thanks for all replies.
