what sort of cleaning rod? Suppolies?
Just curious what you use....
For my .22s I generally don't use a rod, just a bore snake.
For larger calibers, I have a Tetra Gun coated rod (most of the coating worn off) and two solid stainless rods... the tetra rod I use w/o bore guide, from the breach; the stainless ones I only use with a bore guide, mainly if I'm cleaning from the muzzle, as I don't want them to flex.
I generally do not use a rod guide from the breach; I have a Dewey guide but I find that if I look down the guide it is NOT in fact aligned with the bore which kind of defeats the purpose; it is impossible to pull a patch/jag back through the guide, is hard to do so with a brush, etc... so I don't use one.
I like surplus current military bore cleaner for everyday use as it is cheap and does a fine job on powder, and Shooter's Choice copper remover. For oil I like RemOil and Hoppes gun grease. If shooting corrosive ammo, I start with a pint of boiling water poured through the bore, then drying, then a normal cleaning.
For patches I use rags or buy a bolt of fabric from wal mart.

I also use Tetra rods I have one 29in and a 12ga. I use Blue Wonder gun cleaner and Breakfree or Rem-oil. Followed by a bath in WD-40[}:)][;)].

I generally am pretty close to what you do. I clean after corrosive ammo with the older military ( smells terrible) bore cleaners that was made for corrosive ammo. I use the bore snake on everything that I can't get a rod in from the breech. I use J-B cleaner for copper removal. I lube with Break-Free CLP or Blue Wonder's new lube. 0 -
I mostly use Dewey Rods (I have ten of them). I have found that they are the only ones that have a coating that doesn't come off. For really dirty guns or removing cosmo I use gun scrubber, and the I coat the whole gun in G96 wait a minute, wipe it off and put it in the safe. For just cleaning the bore I use G96 without the gun scrubber first.

Bore Tech Rods, with a couple of Dewey's. Stoney Point bore guides, Blue Wonder and Butch's Bore Shine. This is probably a GD thread. 0
