AR10 AR15 M4 & Carbon Cleaning Rods?
« on: July 11, 2013, 12:54:21 AM »
In Armalite's "TECHNICAL NOTE 91: SELECTION AND USE OF CLEANING /MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT" - in the context of bore cleaning rods - you'll find the following statement: "We have no experience with carbon rods. However, carbon arrows will quickly cut through steel arrow rests, so we suggest that if you use a carbon cleaning rod, you do it with great care."

Can someone tell me what they mean by 'carbon arrows' and 'steel arrow rests', and how carbon anything can cut through steel?

Thanks!

I just use a Dewey .22 and .30 rod for my AR10 and AR15s. Simple. Carbon fiber is expensive. Repeated use of any material over another will results in wear. AN analogy is water, it cuts through rock and steel.
