Quoted:
The only cleaning kit I have has a 3 piece brass rod. Pretty much a universal kit that I have used on my shotguns and pistols and on a .22 rifle. Is there a reason to buy a special kit for my new AR? I see talk of dewey rods and stuff. What is up with that. Thanks That's all I've used for years. I used to have a coated Dewey .30 rod, but I included it with my Savage when it was sold. I see no need for a one-piece/specialty rod, unless you have a precision rifle. For a run of the mill chrome lined barrel it's unnecessary IMHO. Plus, a one-piece rod isn't as easy to store as the 3-piece ones. |

The joints on a three piece rod might mess up the crown if you have to clean from the barrel end, like on a Rem 597 and others where it's a bit of work to remove the bolt. I have both and use the long rod.

I like the Dewey rods and that's what I use. The only thing I don't like about brass or aluminum rods is that they are soft and hard things can get imbedded in them and scratch the bore or chamber, so I use Dewey or steel rods.
