Anyone have these?  I looked at one at the local store and noticed the end piece on them are a male fitting.  I did not see any adaptors to use as in between to using the normal 8/32 cleaning adaptor pieces.  Is there some kind of special fittings that have to go on the end?

That's weird. My Tipton carbon fiber rods all have the female threads. I have never seen the male versions at Midway or Brownell's. Very good rods though, just finished using one tonight.

Sure it didn't have an adapter on it ?  

The table above shows all Tipton rods have female threads.  I know mine do

Brownells sells adapters

I would imagine they would come with the adapter. I use Dewey rods and they have male fittings and each came with a set of adapters.

Unless they've changed recently, the Tipton rods don't include any adapters and are female thread.
