Figured I'd MAYBE get a quick and adequate response here  I have a .22 cal Dewey coated rod I use on my AR of course. Can I use this on virtually any other gun or is it too small? Could I use it to clean shotguns with the adapter tip, or say even a .50 cal? Just curious if I have to buy a new cleaning rod everytime I get something of a bigger caliber

I don't have a .50. Just using as an example for larger calibers :) I'm going to order another rod. I just don't know if I should get a .30 cal rod as mentioned, or just a shotgun rod for now. Don't shotgun rods have bigger tips on them for the larger threads and brushes or whatever? www.brownells.com/aspx/ns/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=5626&title=DEWEY+COATED+SHOTGUN+RODS Is it worth getting a coated rod for a non-rifled shotgun, or should I just get one of those Wally-World 3-pieces? ETA - Basically, right now all I own is a 10/22 and my AR. Getting a 12G really soon. What would you do as far as cleaning materials? I have everything possible for my AR. I don't mind getting what I need to keep my shotgun working the way it should :) The shotgun might be my last firearm purchase for a little while, and probably my only shotgun. I don't see a need to have 2+ shotguns when I don't hunt. What should I buy logically? Every shotgun brush I've seen has the large threads on it as if a regular rod would need an adapter. |
