Carbon fiber cleaning rod

[GhengisAhn175]

Hey guys, looking to purchase a carbon fiber cleaning rod. I shoot a 5.56 (.223), 260 remington (.264) and a 762x51 (.308).

The only thing im seeing that fits the bill is a Tipton deluxe cleaning rod, but it goes from .22-.260 then .270-.45.

Is there any other choice out there that amazon is not offering where it's universal or something where I can just buy an adapter
Instead of purchasing two separate rods or am I asking for too much?

The .22-.260 will fit the bill, rod diameter is just below .22 so it will work with anything larger. The end is threaded, the jags and fittings are the only thing that are caliber specific.

I use a 22 rod with a Parker Hale 22 jag, and 30 cal patches to clean my 260/6.5Creedmoor, I would like to caution on using the carbon fiber Tiptons, the threaded ends are very fragile, I broke 2 of them before switching back to Deweys

This is correct. I've been using tipton rods for years on .22 - .308 with zero issues and 100% satisfaction.

I use a Tipton 22-26 for my AR's and 260 bolt gun-I'm happy with it.

What so special about a carbon fiber rod vs say a Dewey or Boretech? Just asking…..

I'm pretty sure they have a threaded brass cap on the end... Where did yours break?

The carbon fiber broke where the brass end attached

After some considerable use, I sighted along my stainless rods and discovered that every single one of them had some sort of kink or bow to them. That's not going to happen with carbon fiber.
