    Very true, but in the sandy/dusty climate I shoot in, I would still be dragging grit through the barrel after the first pass.

    Yes on both. The 30" rod is ideal for an AR since it's short enough that it won't flex and long enough for a 18" barrel. Note: A 30" Dewey rod has to bottom out on my JP rod guide to make it out of the A2 FH on a 20" upper, so it could be on the short side for something with a longer flash suppressor.

    I tried that a couple times and found that the clothes would have a slight hint of CLP and Hoppe's No.9 to them for sometime afterwards.Ive complained about CLP evaporating off of weapons too soon,but man that stuff lingers in a washer.Personally it was fine for me,but I ultimately ended up replacing the washer due to highly accurate female sniping within my AO.Now I have my own washer for shop use....and yeah its funky.
    So I'd keep that in mind.

    As far as cleaning kit:
    Dewey .22 cal coated rod.
    Dewey AR15 chamber cleaning kit,which also doubles as my pistol rod.
    Several bore brushes.
    Tooth brush.
    7/8" stencil brush for applying lube.
    Various size patches 3/4"-1 3/4".
    Hoppe's No.9 for bore/chamber cleaning and as a dunkit.
    Weapon Shield CLP.
    And I keep a USGI sectional rod kit handy for range panics.

    No, No, No, dont put the rifle in the washer Bore snacks are nice and easy. I use them often if I did not do a high round count shoot and just want to wipe it down and Snake Plissken it.

    I always opt for the 36" as it works with other caliber and barrel length weapons up to about 7mm.
