I've been pretty much self-taught when it comes to anything related to firearms. I have a plastic cleaning rod that came with my Glock that I use for pistols but I use metal cleaning rods to hold patches, copper-brushes, etc for my rifles.
One of these rifle-length rods came with a cheap, "universal" cleaning kit and the other I sometimes pull off my AK-type rifle.
Occasionally, the rod hits the side of the barrel. I'm careful, but this just sometimes happens. Can these metal rods mess up my barrels? Someone suggested getting a Dewey cleaning rod. Do I need something like this?
Why do they sell them in different bore sizes? Isn't there one small enough to fit everything from my .22lr up to my .308? I don't have a lot of spare change at the moment but if there's a good upgrade for less than $30 that works with all my rifles I might go for it.
