One piece cleaning rods.

[Erni]

Are one piece rods worth it? Stainless or carbon? Recomendation for non boutique brand?
Also are chamber guides worth it?

[C Ward]

Dewey
Yes

I have the Tipton one piece rods...they aren't all that expensive. Worth it for me

One-piece rods are great.

Avoid steel. I prefer brass.


ETA: couldn't remember which brand I had (have had them for quite a while), but checked my email reciepts - mine are Dewey as well.

Dewey Rods and Possum Hollow guides

[ray1970]

Another vote for Dewey.

Mine are the plastic coated ones. Nylon or Teflon or whatever.

I remember some internet hoopla about the coated ones having some sort of drawback but I haven?t had an issue with them for the twenty plus years I?ve been using them.

I have the nylon coated rods also, think they're great and wouldn't own anything else anymore. I have nightmares about the steel ones dad handed down and I used... I also have a couple chamber guides which are also nice to have, cheap insurance.

I have a few Bore-Tech and a few Dewey rods. Well worth it.

Bore guides are almost a must. I use Lucas and Possum Hollow.

I also like VFG bore pellets. About a million times better than fighting bullshit patches.

Anywhere in the Denver area to buy these? Does cabelas carry them?

Bowers Tactical has a nice selection
