Gun cleaning rods are versatile tools that allow you to push bore mops, cleaning patches, and other small attachments through the barrel of your firearms to remove debris. Depending on the amount and variety of firearms that you own, you may need several cleaning rods to ensure all your weapons get adequate attention. For example, a rod that is made for revolvers isn't long enough to clean the extended barrels of an AR 15 or a shotgun. If you're having trouble choosing new supplies for your cleaning kit, here are answers to some common questions about gun cleaning rods.image

FAQ:

How long is a gun cleaning rod?

The length of a gun cleaning rod varies depending on the one you purchase. Some are made to be used in handguns, which means they are usually less than 10 inches in length. On the other hand, if you want to clean rifles or shotguns, you may need a cleaning rod that is more than 20 inches long. If you own several types of firearms and want a cleaning tool that works for all of them, get a cleaning rod that comes with extenders. This allows you to add or remove sections that increase the length of the rod, allowing you to work on multiple weapons.

Are carbon fiber cleaning rods good?

Traditionally, gun cleaning rods were made from stainless steel. While many of them still use this material because it is durable, many companies, like Tipton, are starting to offer carbon fiber models instead. This provides two main benefits. The first is that the cleaning rod weighs less, so it is easier to maneuver. Additionally, carbon fiber cleaning rods are less likely to damage the inside of your barrel, as they won't scratch against the metal.

What is a cleaning rod jag?

A jag is the small attachment at the end of the cleaning rod that holds cleaning patches in place. Jags are often pointed, allowing you to pierce the cleaning patch to secure it. Then, you can apply your chosen cleaning and move the patch through your barrel to remove debris.
