My local store had a shit selection of cleaning rods so I bought all my rods and jags at midway. I bought a nice single piece Tipton carbon fiber rod and properly threaded jags and brushes thru Midway. you may need to trim the patches a little bit to make them fit properly since some have different thicknesses than others |

Bought a .22 Dewey first and hated it, patches were a bitch to push through and it was too long, shortest length I could get was 32" IIRC. Second time around ordered a .17 Dewey in 24"(I think) and it works perfectly for my 16" upper. Patches are snug to the bore, passes are smooth with no rod flex. Just tried the .22 bore brush on the .17 rod, no go. I'll just use my Otis for that. |

I use a .22 caliber rod and it works fine. I have no problems getting patches through. One thing you might try is using a bore mop as your jag. It compresses some to allow the patch through, but keeps it tight as well. I like to have one for running dry patches and one for wet. That way the dry one is clean and it wont dirty your dry patches. once it gets dirty I just clean it with brake cleaner or some sort of solvent, rinse it with water and let it dry. Another nice thing about the mop is that it wont f**k up your muzzle/crown. Or you can do the same with your brushes as well. I like to use a nylon brush with a patch on it for scrubbing the barrel. It holds the cleaning solution on the brush better that way and the bristles poke through enough to scrub the barrel. |
