Cleaning Rods?

BTW: If you are cleaning a Marlin .39 without locking the ejector down out of the way, you are doing it wrong.

Learned it the hard way 30 years ago.

I've been a fan of ProShot's one piece, s/s rods for years. For traveling, I pack their segmented units.

My Dewey had the coating come off after about 2 or 3 uses. Or it started coming off and just got worse as time went on. Then it bent slightly. I just never was happy with it. The handle worked, but even it didn't feel great in my hands. I replaced it with a Tipton and have never looked back. The Tipton is soo much better. There is no coating to strip off, if it bends, it bends right back to it's original shape as it just can't bend and stay bent. The handle on it is great. I just can't say a bad thing about it. If I ever buy another it will be a Tipton. I highly recommend them.

I have had exactly the same experiences here. Tipton.
