I need to get a carbon fiber one piece rod for the rifles. What I'm using now is an ancient three piece aluminum rod. If cleaning the filth out of the ARs wasn't enough, trying to push a three-piece, soft aluminum rod, through the barrel with jag/patch or brush is a biotch! And if your cleaning from the breech you need a longer rod than you would cleaning from the muzzle. I wish one of the good ones came with a 33", for the old .22LR rifles.
