    I keep it on my belt. It's easier to get to something on your belt than inside your stock. Especially if what's inside your stock is made up of a bunch of short pieces that you have to screw together. I'm not trying to knock your idea man but why not just put extra batteries in your stock? It just makes more sense. The compartments are waterproof. Matters for batteries, doesn't matter for cleaning rods. Keep a regular 3 piece rod or the Rapid Rod on your kit. Just my spin. Do what you like, obviously.

    My hang-up is, I want it on the rifle because that's always with me. I try to keep my belt clean when I wear my IOTV, so it would go on my vest. However, my MOS usually requires me to take off my IOTV to look less threatening, so now it's with my vest and not me. I'm making it more difficult by trying to be simple, you know?

    Why not find a way to pack a 3-piece rod with your spare magazines?

    You're going to have spare magazines with you in any situation where you might need a rod, and you're not going to have them all attached to the rifle, are you?

    I'm not playing dumb, I'm just trying to understand...


    I keep a 3-piece rod in the butt of my walnut-stocked M14, in the compartment designed for it, but really only because the weight helps to balance out the heavy barrel.

    All this reminds me that I should get at USGI 3-piece steel rod for my range bag...

    Can somebody point me to a good source?

    You could always secure two shorter sections to just the rail. Similar to Kyle Defoor's method, but it wouldn't extend beyond the rail. It might take a little finagling to get it secured, but then it stays on the gun.
    I'm not cool. I just do this stuff for fun.

    A cleaning rod cut into 5 pieces would fit in an ACS, it tried fit my 4 piece rod but it wouldn't fit in the ACS.
