Pros & Cons
Pros
It is not the cheapest option out there by a long shot, but you really do get what you pay for. Love the dual berrings. Perfect for them. These things are fantastic.
I usually use the collapsible cleaning rods that usually come loose. I appreciate the quality, consistency, and durability of tipton. Handle and shaft rotate freely and the cf rod is truly cf and feels extremely sturdy.
This is well made and sturdy. Strong, works great in my 6. Stout. Very sturdy. Sturdy/reliable and affordable.
Cons
The storage container tube i received was missing one of the caps and was all scratched up and looked like it was repackaged or used. If there is a flaw in the carbon fiber process, dont keep it.
Highlights
Quality
The whole carbon fiber shaft and brass tip are coated in a high quality clearcoat
I appreciate the quality consistency and durability of tipton and this rod is no exception
With the gun broken open in a gun vise to clean it that problem would be alleviated
Handle rotates with the rifling so your jag doesn’t loosen up
Packaging/appearance
The tube is more important than just being packaging
Not only is the rod great their packaging is top notch in protecting the rod when not in use
Competitiveness
Works perfect on a 18in ar barrel just clears the flash suppressor
Its wellmade and it works as advertised
10 minutes of polishing with this rod and some jbs bore cleaning paste finished with 30 strokes of flitz polishall from amazon
