RE: Gun cleaning ???'s
1 piece rod, bore guide and accessories individually as well. As far as a rod most of mine are coated Dewey's and they have been excellent. I just received my first Tipton Carbon Fibre rod this christmas. Either one IMHO is a darn fine choice and will last many years.
Ifeel a bore guide is a must! I have Dewey andBoretech Guides,equally pleased with both of these manufacturer's products.
All that is required is Bronze or Synth. bore brushes(No stainless steel), jag, solvents and patches (I cut mine out of t shirts, they can be cut to size for everything from my .17 to .58 cal.).
