Dewey Cleaning Rods

[Boneyard1981]

I have an LE6920 and have been trying to figure out what size Dewey Rod I need for cleaning. I've seen short ones advertised for the ARs on the Internet and read in posts elsewhere that 30", 36", and even longer are being used. Does anyone know what the best length for this 16 inch carbine?

Measure from the muzzle to the rear of the receiver, plus a few inches.
You need the rod to reach the muzzle and still have enough room at the rear of the receiver for the handle to not quite touch the receiver.

My 16" plus muzzle brake needs a rod at least 25" long, not including the handle.
Buy either a Dewey stainless steel rod or a carbon fiber.
A lot of top shooters are using carbon fiber because they're either perfectly straight or they're broken.

Just recieved 2 Tipton carbon fiber rods. 26 inch for AR's and a 30 cal 34 incher, love em.
