If you have to ask you're doing it wrong.

Cico7 is sad I used a rod

I am not sad you used a rod. I was responding to Jfal. If you want to use a rag or a rod, I don't give a dog gone.
I am happy if you want to use a limp rod. limp rods need love too.

That got pretty funny there I'd say....as if there was a doubt with a discussion about our rods.

If you can't be with the rod you love, love the rod you're with. ;-)

Regarding rifles...

Always clean breech to muzzle. Never put anything down the muzzle except a bare rod. You want to pull dirt and debris out of the rifle, not push it into the breech. For the M1A, read Chapter 5 of FM 23-8.

Use a Dewey 1-piece brass rod at home and an Otis kit in the field. The BoreSnake is excellent. Put a wet patch around the bristles.

Jags are the worst thing ever invented. Every gunsmith has probably had to remove a stuck patch from a bore, because their client was using a jag. There is a reason that the military doesn't issue them.
