I am not new to owning an AR but after joining this site and reading some of your recommendations, I am apparently very new to cleaning my AR properly. When I first got my AR in 1999 I had the help of a cop who showed me how to maintain the rifle. He never said anything about the rods that came with AR as being bad, and I have been using them ever since. What are the best cleaning rods to use? By the way thanks to everyone who recommended CLP, I started using it after reading some of your posts, and that stuff ROCKS!!! |

I'd suggest taking a look at the operators guide (-10 manual). It explains in detail proper cleaning technique. Works great for a GI chrome bore. For those who can't/don't want to follow the manual, an Otis pull-thru kit is a decent alternative. Enjoy that shooter! |

Now that I've learned the difference, the only rods I use in my rifles, ARs included, are Deweys. Previously I used the multi-part aluminum, luckily before I got my ARs. The Dewey's are coated and have excellent bearings in the handles. http://www.deweyrods.com/ I also use a bore guide; mine's from Dewey's as well but I've seen some nice ones eslewhere, RB Precision is one that comes to mind. http://www.rbprecision.com/index.htm CD-K |

i don't mean to hijack the thread, but pro-shot products talks about their one piece rods "THE HARDENED DENSE JEWELED MIRRORLIKE FINISH OF PRO-SHOT'S RODS DO NOT PICK UP AND CARRY ABRASIVES OR DIRT THROUGH THE BORE, UNLIKE COATED AND ALUMINUM RODS WHICH CAN DAMAGE THE BORE. This makes our Micro-Polished rod the best rod on the market!". would those be fine on my rra 16" chrome lined? right now that i'm getting started-i'm very very carefully using a three piece aluminum (only twice). any info you have would be great. their site is http://www.proshotproducts.com/index.html jake  |
